Abstract:
This study investigates the mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with glass and polypropylene fibers. The goal is to enhance the strength, durability, and crack resistance of concrete for high-performance structural applications. Hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete was prepared using different proportions of glass and polypropylene fibers, with the M50 grade concrete as the base material. Tests were conducted to evaluate the compressive, tensile, and flexural strength of the concrete, with specific emphasis on its behaviour under cyclic loading. Results indicate that the inclusion of glass and polypropylene fibers significantly improves the tensile and flexural strength of the concrete, while also enhancing its crack resistance. The findings suggest that hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete offers superior performance for applications subjected to dynamic loads, such as bridges and high-rise buildings. These results highlight the potential of glass and polypropylene fibers to improve the durability and mechanical behaviour of concrete, making it suitable for modern construction demands.
