Abstract

This paper deals with the consequences on inclusion of numerous proportions of polypropylene strapping roll fibers on
compressive strength, split tensile strength, workability, and sorptivity for cementitious concrete. This research work aims
to intuition the effects of such fibers on concrete by varying its aspect ratio by 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and fiber content by 0%,
0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% by overall volume of concrete and to figure out the optimum aspect ratio and fiber
content. The test results evince that mechanical and durability properties rises while workability decreases with increase
in aspect ratio and fiber content.
