Abstracts : In this paper, the structural properties are
studied for Compressive Strength of polypropylene
fiber in concrete with natural sand. Different cut
length of 20mm to 30mm with an increment of 5 and
different volume fractions of polypropylene fiber
0.0% to 1% with an increment of 0.25% by weight of
cement are used. Concrete mix prepared with locally
available Natural sand as a normal mix is used.
Concrete mixes are designed for
infrastructural development industry. It has a
capacity to enhance its property with the help of
other suitable materials like Polypropylene Fiber.
Currently man-made micro fibers and natural fibers
have been incorporated into concrete. Initially
natural fibers were used in concrete but it has some
drawbacks mainly in durability hence man-made
fibres are preferred. Man Made Polypropylene fiber
is adaptable thermoplastic material which is formed
by polymerizing monomer units of polypropylene
molecule into very long polymer molecules or chains
in the presence of channel under carefully controlled
heat & pressure. Concrete mixes are designed for
M20 and M30 grades for the experimentation.
Mechanical, thermal and other properties are
studied. There is improvement in compressive
strength by addition of Polypropylene fiber in
concrete.
