Abstract

Concrete is basically a brittle material and possesses very low tensile strength. To overcome this weakness, we generally introduce reinforcement to the concrete. For this study, we are aiming to analyze the strength parameters of concrete under the influence of fibers as a reinforcing material. During the last 30 years, different types of fibers and fiber materials were introduced and are being continuously produced in the market as new applications. Usage of fibers in concrete helps to improve resistance to cracking and fragmentation. For this study, Polypropylene fiber is used as a reinforcing material. We have used M40 and M25 concrete and a comparative study on strength parameters is made with and without the presence of these fibers. The compressive, flexural strength tests were performed by using fiber weight content from 5%.
