An Experimental Study on the Mechanical Study and Durability of PFRC(Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete)

폴리프로필렌 섬유보강 콘크리트(PFRC)의 역학적 특성 및 내구성에 관한 실험적 연구

The result of an experimental study on the mechanical properties and durability of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete are presented in this paper. This study has been performed to obtain the properties of PFRC such as strength, toughness and durability. The test variables are fiber content, fiber types, W/C ratio. PFRC shows the highest strength when the polypropylene fiber contents were increased to 2.0 vol.%. Also, freeze-thaw resistance and carbonation were somewhat more improved than plain concrete.
