Computational Analysis on Flexural Behavior of Precast Aerated Concrete Panel Incorporating Polypropylene Fiber

Influence of High Temperatures on Flexural Strength of Foamed Concrete Containing Fly Ash and Polypropylene Fiber

In this study, the elevated temperature flexural strengths of lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) containing fly ash (FA) and polypropylene fiber (PF) was investigated experimentally and statistically. The variables included were the temperature degrees (in a range of 20 to 600°C), LFC densities of 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 kg/m3 and additive content. Two mixes were made by replacing 15% and ...

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete - A Review

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability. By utilization of Polypropylene fibers in concrete not only optimum utilization of materials is achieved but also the cost reduction is achieved. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various aspects Polypropylene F...

Compressive and splitting tensile strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) containing perlite aggregate and polypropylene fiber subjected to high temperatures

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the residual compressive and splitting tensile strength of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) containing perlite and polypropylene (PP) fiber subjected to high temperatures. Cylinder specimens were subjected to various temperature ranges of 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1,000°C. The mixtures were prepared with AAC cementitious materials conta...

Quasidistributed fiber sensor for precast concrete structures monitoring [8421-374]

The prestressing force is transferred to the concrete during the slack period of precast concrete structures fabrication. To contribute to a better understanding of the armor compliant behaviors during the mentioned process, a custom quasidistributed Bragg Grating optical fiber sensor system is designed, fabricated and embedded into a prestressed concrete prismatic beam. The experimental works,...
