Abstract
The mechanical tests of normal concrete (NC) specimens, steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimens and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PPFRC) specimens have been carried out. Fiber-reinforced concretes containing different volume fraction and aspect ratio of steel and polypropylene fibers were compared in terms of compressive, splitting tensile, ultimate tensile properties. Test results indicate that the mechanical properties of NC can be improved by addition of steel fibers and can be enhanced with the increase of fiber content. However, polypropylene fiber may cause opposite effect, if volume fraction too high.
