To Study the Effect of Polypropylene Fibre used in Concrete Structure to Increase the Strength

Abstract

The fibre is used in Reinforced concrete for various Civil engineering applications. (FRC) Fibre-reinforced concrete is profitably used in slabs, beams, columns, foundations, agricultural godowns, precast concrete products, structures that are constructed in a seismic zone, in the construction of dams, canals and tunnel lining and many other applications. Reinforced concrete is achieving smooth finishing, high strength, and crack resistance and also it can improve the quality and performance of concrete structures. s are recently used in the construction of bridges, Tunnel and canal lining, bridge decks, flooring of industries, and concrete slab. These applications of fibre-reinforced concrete are becoming popular for achieving excellent performance.
It cannot be disputed that fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) is useful in a variety of civil engineering applications. Slabs, architectural panels, precast products, offshore buildings, structures in seismic regions, thin and thick repairs, crash barriers, footings, hydraulic structures, and many other applications have successfully utilised fibre-reinforced concrete in grade. The use of fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) as a practical means of enhancing concrete performance is gaining popularity. Currently, fibres are being specified for use in concrete slabs, concrete pads, thin unbound overlays, loading docks, pavements, and bridge decks. These fibre-reinforced concrete uses are growing in popularity and have outstanding performance.
