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.

Though fracture test on the fifteen specimens with notch of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete with the size of 100mm×100mm×400mm, this paper explores the hybrid effect between steel fiber and polypropylene fiber and impact on the fracture properties, such as critical effective crack length, critical crack tip opening displacement, effective stress intensity factors and fracture energy. The test results indicate that the addition of fiber is helpful to improve the fracture properties of concrete. Synergistic effect of two kinds of fibers is good, the steel fiber with high elastic module can restrain the cracking of concrete when the crack displacement is small, polypropylene macro-fiber with high ductility is more beneficial to increase the fracture properties of concrete than steel fiber when the crack displacement is big. The best fiber compounding can be gotten when the volume fractions of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber is respectively 0.5%and 1.0%in this experiment.

In order to focus on hybrid fiber reinforced concrete flexural toughness,mixed 0.7% steel fiber/0.3% modified polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete, mixed 0.89% steel fiber/0.11% Dura fiber reinforced concrete were chosen to perform flexural toughness test. The test method is giving a central point load to the notched beam specimens (H*B*L1:150mm*150mm*550mm, h1*B1:2mm*25mm) with a 0.2 mm/min loading rate. The load we carry out should not stop until the mid span deflection is more than 3mm.Based on calculating the contribution of the fiber to the energy absorption value Dcr when the concrete cracking,the contribution of the fiber to the energy absorption value D1f when mid-span deflection is δ1,the contribution of the fiber to the energy absorption value D2f when mid-span deflection isδ2 and the equivalent flexural tensile strength feq1,feq2,the effect of the way use to hybrid fiber on the flexural toughness of concrete were investigated. The results shows that the hybrid fiber can significantly improve the flexural toughness of concrete, have favorable deformability and the ability to control crack. The result of 0.7% steel fiber/0.3% modified polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete is shown: Dcr=2185 Nmm,D1f=7634.26 Nmm,D2f=2198.67 Nmm, feq1=4.89 MPa,feq2=2.83 MPa, hence it shows the positive enhancement effect of hybrid fiber and flexural toughness increase significantly.

This study mainly analyzed the effect of steel fiber (SF) mixed with polypropylene fiber (PF) on the performance optimization of concrete. Firstly, the steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC) and steel-polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (SP-HFRC) specimens were designed. Then, the slump experiment, compressive strength experiment, and tensile strength experiment were carried out. The results demonstrated that the increase of fibers reduced the slump, and the influence of PF on the slump was the largest, followed by SF and SP; when the content of SF was 1% and the content of PF was 0.1%, the compressive strength and tensile strength of the concrete were 73.16 MPa and 6.33 MPa, which was superior to the concrete mixed with single fiber. The experimental results demonstrate that SP-HFRC has a superiority in mechanical property and can be further promoted and applied in building structure.
