Comparative Study of Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Conventional Concrete Pavement Design
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Transportation always plays a key role in the development of the country. In India, Bituminous pavements are mostly used across the country. Bitumen are obtained by petroleum crude which is used for the making the flexible pavements. As we know, Petroleum crude are gradually diminished on the earth, so there is a need to replace the bitumen pavement by cement concrete pavement. Cement concrete pavement has several advantages like providing smooth ride surface, high compressive strength, etc. But there are several disadvantages that is its low tensile strength, proper need to maintenance and repairing, low durability etc. Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete pavement has better solution for overcoming the problems related to cement concrete pavement. PPFRC pavements provide better paving road, smart grip to tyres, high flexural strength and high durability. It also provides better solution frequently maintenance and repairing of the cement concrete pavements. The addition of polypropylene fibers makes it proper binding of the concrete ingredients and gets homogeneous fiber concrete. In this experiment we are analysed to get the optimum strength behaviour of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete by adding the different percentage of polypropylene fiber by volume of concrete.
