With cooling tests on polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete and plain concrete that were initially subjected to different heating temperatures, the change of mechanical properties including mass loss, uniaxial compressive strength and microstructure were analyzed. The results show that the compressive strength of concrete tend to decrease with an increase in temperature. After experiencing high temperatures, the internal fibers of the polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete melted and left a large number of voids in it, thereby deteriorating the mechanical properties of concrete.

The research of single doped fiber concrete is relatively mature. But the research about different varieties and different geometry shape of hybrid fiber concrete was very poor. Across the research in theory, hybrid fiber concrete can improve the balance of fiber three-dimensional distribution and coordinating role of aggregate and fiber, improve the efficiency of toughening crack resistance. In this paper, through the orthogonal experiment design method for hybrid fiber reinforced concrete, the mass and compressive strength loss rate after 50 times, 75 times, 100 times freeze-thaw cycle had been studied. Use range analysis quantified the influence level of various factors on the mechanical properties. It was analyzed the hybrid fiber influence on improving the efficiency of toughening crack resistance and frost resistance. It is concluded that adding the fiber can enhance the performance of concrete frost resistance. Long steel fiber have great influence on compressive strength loss rate of hybrid fiber concrete, such as the compressive strength loss rate was reached 65.47% after 75 times freeze-thaw cycle. Short steel fiber have certain influence on mass loss of concrete which were after less freeze-thaw cycles. The influence of polypropylene fiber on concrete frost resistance increases significantly, the effect can reach 36.78% after 50 times of freeze-thaw cycle. The optimal combination of the hybrid fiber concrete ultimately determined was A2B2C3 (simultaneously mixed with 50kg/m3 short steel fiber and long steel fiber as well as 0.9kg/m polypropylene fiber). The addition of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber are both beneficial to increase the internal air content of concrete, strengthening the frost resistance of concrete. However, with the increase of dosage, the internal porosity of concrete is gradually increasing, the density is reduced, and, as a result, the corresponding increase of the compressive strength loss rate is also improved.

At present, green energy saving idea, aimed at protecting environment and saving energy, now has become the guiding philosophy of modern architecture. Based on this, recycled carpet waste fibers for textile mechanical properties of concrete were discussed in this paper. The application of polypropylene fiber concrete abroad has been widely used, which is becoming more and more popularly in China recent years. Meanwhile, research on the application of recycled polypropylene fiber concrete is still scarce. The experiment of this paper adopt waste polypropylene fibers as reinforcing fiber, and we make the standard specimen which size is . We use the specimen to do the research of mechanical properties of compressive strength and observing the variation of compressive strength of concrete specimen in different fiber volume. We discovered that when we add volume of 0.12% recycled polypropylene fiber and the length is 19mm, the compressive strength of concrete increases greatly. We draw the conclusion that the compressive strength of recycled fiber concrete is better than ordinary one from the experiment. In addition, if such concrete was used widely, we may reach the goals of conserving resources and protecting the environment.

Abstract. The research is devoted to the development of compositions of modified fiber concrete of rigid road pavements with high strength and frost resistance through the use of metakaolin and a polycarboxylate type superplasticizer. The compressive strength, tensile strength under bending and frost resistance of concrete and fiber concrete of rigid road pavements were investigated according to the 4-factor optimal plan. In the experiment the amount of concrete components varied: Portland cement, polypropylene fibers, metakaolin, the polycarboxylate type additives Coral ExpertSuid-5. All mixtures had equal mobility P2 and their W/C depended on the composition of concrete. The use of polypropylene fiber and metakaolin necessitates an increase of W/C to maintain the mobility of the mixture. Increasing the amount of Coral ExpertSuid-5 additive in concrete to 0.9-1% allows to reduce significantly W/C of the mixture. Metakaolin as an active mineral additive increases the compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete. Rational in terms of increasing strength is the amount of metakaolin at the level of 20..22 kg/m3. With an increase in the amount of Coral ExpertSuid-5 additive to 0.9..1% due to a decrease of W/C, the compressive strength of concrete increases by 5..7 MPa, and the tensile strength increases by about 0.5 MPa. Due to the introduction of polypropylene fiber, the tensile strength of concrete in bending increases by 0.6..0.9 MPa. But dispersed reinforcement does not affect the compressive strength of concrete. The developed fiber concrete using a rational amount of modifiers, depending on the amount of Portland cement in the composition, has a compressive strength from 55 MPa to 70 MPa and tensile strength from 8 MPa to 9.5 MPa. The high strength of fiber-reinforced concretes allows their use in road pavements with the highest load. Frost resistance of concrete increases by 50 cycles or more when using fiber in an amount of 1.5-2 kg/m3. Due to the use of a rational amount of modifiers (0.8-1% Coral ExpertSuid-5 additive and 15-20 kg/m3 metakaolin), frost resistance of concrete and fiber concrete increases by 50-100 cycles. The developed modified fiber concretes of rigid road pavements depending on the amount of Portland cement in the composition have frost resistance from F350 to F450, which ensures their sufficient durability.

In this article, flexural strength and compressive strength of concrete containing polypropylene fiber (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste fiber and a combination between them were experimentally investigated. For this reason, laboratory experiments were performed on a total of 40 mixes. Results show that compressive strength property of concrete reinforced with PET waste fiber is not comparable to that of concrete reinforced with PP fiber, in which there is a compressive strength reduction, and the effect of PET fiber length on the strength is not important. Behavior of concrete contained PET waste fiber in flexure was found better. There is a good opportunity to use a hybrid fiber (25% PET and 75% PP) to enhance flexural strength of concrete.

In order to study the effect of fibers to the anti-crack performance of the concrete, sixteen different plat restraint specimens with four different fiber mixing amount (steel fiber is 0, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and polypropylene fiber is 0, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% respectively), are selected to comparison about the influence on the anti-cracking property of the hybrid fiber concrete, single fiber reinforced concrete and plain concrete. Experiments show that fibers increasing the anti-crack performance of the concrete significantly. The relationship between fibers’ content and the crack area is analyzed, and the microscopic mechanism of the anti-crack performance is discussed. Considering the economy and the convenient for construction, the column ratio of 0.5% steel fiber and 0.1% polypropylene fiber is recommended.

Perumpung (Eulalia japonica) is a wild plant that usually grows on the banks of river. The locals consider this plant as a waste/pest, but the authors are interested in researching perumpung because they are similar to bamboo, sugarcane and other fibrous plants. In this study, the authors aims to compare the compressive strength of normal concrete with the compressive strength of concrete added with Perumpung ash at 28-days-old K-300. The study used a cube-shaped test object (15 x 15 x 15 cm) with 6 samples for each condition. The total number of test objects is 48, which consists of 8 conditions, namely normal conditions and 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% and 20% addition of perumpung ash by cement weight. The results obtained that the compressive strength of 28-days-old concrete under normal conditions was 316,060 kg/cm2 and the addition of 5% ash was 331.583 kg/cm2, 7.5% was 337.181 kg/cm2, 10% was 341.813 kg/cm2, 12 ,5% is 347,045 kg/cm2, 15% is 353,889 kg/cm2, 17.5% is 311,160 kg/cm2 and 20% is 298.44 kg/cm2. From the results above it can be concluded that the addition of 15% Perumpung Ash to the concrete mixture increases the maximum characteristic concrete compressive strength by 353.889 kg/cm2.
