Investigation of mechanical properties of polymer impregnated concrete containing polypropylene fiber by taguchi and anova methods

The mechanical properties of polymer impregnated concrete containing polypropylene fiber were statistically and experimentally examined in this study. Taguchi L9 (33) was used variables for experiments selected as the ratio (0%, 1% 2%), cement dosage (300, 350 400 kg/m3) curing time (7, 14 28 days). After specimens cured at specified times, they dried 105 ±5 °C. Then, monomer to 24 hours under atmospheric conditions. samples polymerization kept within drying oven 60 °C 6 hours. compressive strength ultrasonic pulse velocity tests specimens, which applied, conducted. Furthermore, dynamic modulus elasticity calculated using velocity. analysis found that best values velocity, days curing, percentage kg/m3 dosage. Anova had biggest effect on fiber.
