Abstract:
Critical investigation for M-20 grade of
concrete to study the compressive strength, flexural
strength and tensile strength of fibrillated
polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC)
containing fibers of 0%, 0.25% and 0.4% volume fraction
of fibrillated polypropylene fibers of 15mm, 20mm and
24mm length were used. For compression test, the cube
(15cmx15cmx15cm) and Cylinders (10cm diameter and 20cm
length) were used. For splitting Test, Cylinders (10 cm
diameter and 20 cm length) were used. A result data
obtained has been analyzed and compared with a control
specimen (0% fiber). A result data also compared between
three different fibers strength. A relationship between
Compressive strength vs. days, and tensile strength vs.
days represented graphically. Result data clearly shows
percentage increase in7 and 28 days Compressive strength
and Tensile strength for M-20 Grade of Concrete.
