Enhancement in Performance of Conventional concrete mixes by using hybridization with steel & polypropylene fibresBy Pratiksha V. Wasnik, Sakshi P. Badodekar, Harshad R. Shivankar, Nikhil Maske
Abstract: This experimental study evaluates the influence of incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers on the mechanical performance of high- performance concrete (HPC) across M30, M35, and M40 grades. This research focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties of High- Performance Concrete (HPC) enhanced with a hybrid reinforcement system consisting of steel fibers (SF) and polypropylene fibers (PPF). Steel fibers are utilized to improve the compressive and tensile strengths, while polypropylene fibers contribute …

An Experimental Investigation of High Performance by Using Steel and Polypropylene FibresBy Pratiksha V. Wasnik, Sakshi P. Badodekar, Harshad R. Shivankar, Nikhil Maske
Abstract: This study explores the feasibility of partially substituting conventional cement in concrete with steel and polypropylene fibers to improve mechanical performance and introduce alternative composite materials. Concrete cube specimens measuring 150 × 150 × 150 mm were cast with varying mix designs corresponding to M20 and M25 grades. The experimental program was executed in two distinct phases. In Phase I, control mixes of M20 and M25 grade concrete were prepared …
