AB [EN] Fibers are one of the most prevalent methods to enhance the tensile capacity of concrete. Most researchers focuson steel fiber reinforced concrete which is costly and easily corroded. This study aims to examine the performanceof polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete through different tests. PPFs were added into concrete blends in apercentage of 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, and 4.0% by weight of cement to offset its objectionable brittle nature and improveits tensile capacity. The fresh property was evaluated through slump cone test and while mechanical strength wasevaluated through compressive strength, split tensile strength flexure strength, and flexure cracking behaviors after7-, 14-, and 28-days curing. Results indicate that slump decrease with the addition of PPFs while fresh density increaseup to 2.0% in addition to PPFs and then decreases. Similarly, strength (compressive strength; split tensile strength,and flexure strength) was increased up to 2.0% addition of PPFs and then decrease gradually. It also suggests thatDuctility; first crack load, maximum crack width, and load-deflection inter-relations were considerably improved dueto incorporations of PPFs.
