Experimental Studies on Mortar Using Polypropylene Fibers
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
An experimental program was carried out to evaluate the properties of cement Mortar. Compressive strength test, splitting tensile strength test and the water absorption test were performed and the results were analysed statistically. Polypropylene fibers can greatly increase the properties of cement Mortar. Specimens containing fiber of 0.00%, 0.10%, 0.20% and 0.30% are prepared and tested in this work. It is demonstrated that a certain amount of fibers enhances the compressive, splitting tensile strength and the water absorption capacity of the fiber reinforced cement mortar. The Compressive strength of mortar was increased to 118.15 % at 7 days & 29.14 % at 28days and splitting tensile strength was increased by 130.30 % at 7 days & 56.15 % at 28 days.
