  Enhancement in Performance of Conventional concrete mixes by using hybridization with steel & polypropylene fibres

  By 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 …

  A Strategy for Safer and More Resilient Industrial Construction

  By Birendra Kumar Singh

  Abstract: This study investigates the effects of incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers into high-performance concrete (HPC) to enhance its mechanical behavior and ensure greater safety in industrial structures. The research focuses on HPC mixtures of M30, M35, and M40 grades reinforced with a combination of steel fibers (SF) and polypropylene fibers (PPF). Steel fibers contribute to improved compressive and tensile strengths, while polypropylene fibers help control crack formation and dissipate energy …
