Abstract:

Concrete is most widely used construction material in the world. Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is a concrete in which small and discontinuous fibers are dispersed uniformly. The fibers used in FRC may be of different materials like steel, G.I., carbon, glass, Aramid, asbestos, polypropylene, jute etc. The addition of these fibers into concrete mass can dramatically increase the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength of concrete. In this study the results of strength properties of steel, glass, and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete have been presented the compressive strength of concrete samples made with different fiber amounts varies from 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1% were studied. The samples with the addition of the different fibers showed better results with increase of fiber content.
