Abstract: The objective of the investigation is to find the effects of concrete composites when cement is partially replaced with cement and when polypropylene fibers are added to the composites. The proportions of the mix design of the control mix are 1: 1.528: 2.7. The water-cement ratio used for the investigation was 0.45. The cement was replaced by GGBS for 0, 10, 20, 30 percentages for above mentioned replacements the polypropylene fibers were added for 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 percentages. The cut length of polypropylene fibers used in the investigation is 12mm. This investigation gives the feasibility of use of polypropylene fibers on properties of concrete such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. The above test were conducted by varying both fiber content and GGBS content. The GGBS content was varied from 0 to 30 percent of cement content.
Keywords: polypropylene fibers, GGBS, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength.
