| Abstract: | This research paper presents experimental study on the
performance of polypropylene fibrillated fiber reinforced concrete. The
properties of concrete with and without fibers have been compared in this
paper. In this experimental work three different dosage of fibrillated fiber
(0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15% by volume) were used. Important concrete properties
i.e. slump, bleeding, settlement, compressive strength, flexural behavior,
drying shrinkage, abrasion resistance, and splitting tensile strength have been
studied in this experimental work. The following important observations for the
concrete containing fibrillated fiber were found: i) Drastic reduction in slump
of concrete; ii) Reduction in settlement of concrete; iii) Insignificant effect
on compressive and splitting tensile strength; iv) Drastic reduction in drying
shrinkage; v) Increasing trend in flexural strength with increase in fiber
dosage; indicating several technical benefits on
addition of fibrillated fiber in concrete. |
