Abstract

Plain Concrete has very low tensile strength, limited ductility, very low resistance of cracking behaviour. Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is an ideal way to control shrinkage, cracking, micro cracks, macro cracks and induces high ductility. But apart from this, fiber reduces the workability characteristics of concrete and it makes difficult use for site application. The purpose of this study is to analyse the workability characteristics on different percentage of polypropylene fiber by volume of concrete on M30 grade with having water cement ratio 0.40. The fibers contents were varying from 0%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 1.50% and 2.00%. This study is done for Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete pavement design.
