Effect of Polypropylene Fibers on Abrasion Resistance and Flexural Strength for Interlocking Paver Block
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The presently paver block is used in various applications like in street road and other construction places. Also we can say that it is partial replacement of concrete pavement. Paver block has low cost maintenance and easily replace with a newer one at the time of breakage. For improving Abrasion Resistance and Flexural Strength of paver block this study is necessary. In this study addition of polypropylene fibers in paver block to show the change in the Abrasion Resistance and Flexural Strength of paver blocks with compare to standard paver block and reduces the maintenance cost of paver block. Also it'shelpful to improve the life span of paver block. In this paper represent the results of the concrete paver block with the mix proportion of 1:3 (Cement: dolomite powder) and polypropylene fibre with the different percentage rate in the top layer of paver block and 1:1:2:3.75 (Cement: Fine aggregate: Semi Grit: Quarry dust) in the bottom layer of paver block. In only both layers contain the polypropylene fiber (PPF) of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5% in each mixes proportion by weight. Both tests were determined at 28 days. Test results indicate that by the addition of PPF by 0.3% and 0.4% it gives good results for abrasion resistance and flexural strength at 28 days respectively. The paper also shows the cost comparison per block for the each mix proportion
