  • Abstract:
  • This paper focuses on experimental study in the behaviour of polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete. The polypropylene fibres were mixed into the concrete in the form of reinforcement into the concrete with uniform orientation of the fibres. The tests on the concrete were conducted before and after by adding polypropylene fibres into the concrete in different contents, i.e.; 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8% of the cement mass. It was observed that the composite with 1.6% of polypropylene fibre demonstrated the highest compressive, flexural and split tensile strengths when compared to the other contents of fibres. The optimum result acquired Fibre reinforced concrete is fixed to accomplish additional flexure strength in the concrete beam.
