| Abstract [eng] |
In this thesis, the research of criteria is regarding the concept of investigation of residual strengths of polypropylene and steel reinforced concrete. Six samples of polypropylene reinforced concrete samples were tested using three-point bending test and is compared against reference samples of steel fibre reinforced concrete for various parameters like displacement and crack width opening. The crack width opening is calculated for polypropylene samples under different readings and is compared with steel samples. It is found that steel fibre reinforced concrete samples is known to have a higher residual strength when compared against polypropylene samples. Steel fibre reinforces concrete samples also have a higher tolerating capacity when a heavy load is applies against them. |
