Elevated temperature performance of reinforced concrete beams containing waste polypropylene fibers

Performance of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate

In 1995, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began reconstruction in Houston on a section of IH-10 with continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). The unique aspect of this project was the use of crushed concrete as both coarse and fine aggregates in the new concrete. No virgin aggregates were used. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate (1) the material propert...

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...

High Performance Reinforced Concrete Beams made with Sandstone Reactive Aggregates

An investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced high performance concrete (HPC) has been conducted. Crushed sandstone known as reactive aggregate was used for both fine and coarse aggregates. In addition, mineral admixtures such as silica fume and fly ash combined with superplasticiser was used. The beams were made with concrete having compressive strength in the range of 74 88 N/mm 2 ...
