A Review: Performance of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Plain concrete has low strain capacity due to which crack occur on the outer layer of the concrete structures. The fibers are incorporated in concrete to prevent the crack formation and enhance the tensile strength of the mix. Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PPFRC) is a composite material that contains short discrete randomly distributed fibers. PP fibers in concrete shows promising results while enhancing the mechanical properties, stiffness and durability. This paper presents a review of properties of PPFRC based on various research works.
