About this document
Polypropylene Fiber Impact on Concrete Strength by Mark B. Barroga is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the use of polypropylene fibers to improve the split tensile strength and compressive strength of concrete. Several studies are referenced that show how the addition of polypropylene fibers can increase strength, especially at early ages. Longer fibers generally provide more improvement to split tensile strength. Compressive strength may initially decrease due to interactions with cement but can increase with fiber length and content. Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete provides
