Abstract |
|
This research allocates with the effect of Polypropylene fiber on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The polypropylene fiber is synthetic fiber it is good in high tensile strength, great in modulus of elasticity and it is also good in bonding after add into concrete. In this research work Polypropylene fiber of 19mm is used in mix of concrete. Compressive strength test, split tensile strength test were performed and the results were examined statistically. Specimen having polypropylene fiber of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.03% are prepared and tested in this research. Furthermore the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete with mix of polypropylene fiber, 0.1% and 0.2% increased and at the 0.3% it increased little both in compressive strength and split tensile strength. |
