Abstract
In the use of fibers reinforcement of composites has increased in the last several years. The experimental investigation conducted on the use of polypropylene fibre of length 12mm having an aspect ratio of around 500.It was employed in equal percentages of 0.5 percentages by weight of cast concrete and tests like compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. Conventional concrete has very low tensile strength and low resistance to cracking. Internal cracks were inherently present in concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to the propagation of such micro cracks. Fibres added to a certain percentage of the concrete improve the strain value as well as crack resistance and flexure strength of the concrete.
Keywords- Polypropylene Fiber, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Flexural strength
