Abstract |
|
Polypropylene Fibre Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability. By utilization of Polypropylene fibres in concrete not only optimum utilization of materials is achieved but also the cost reduction is achieved. The main aim of this experimental investigation is to study the strength properties of polypropylene fibre Reinforced Concrete of M20 grade with varying % of fibre of 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0% by volume of concrete. This study consisted of compressive strength, shear strength and split tensile strength on polypropylene fibre Reinforced Concrete. Along with for this experimental investigation we replaced the manufactured sand with natural sand by 30% of mass of fine aggregate for the economical purposes and environmental friendly in nature. |
