Hybrid Glass and Polypropylene Fibers on the Mechanical Performance of Concrete: An Experimental Investigation

Abstract

Recent advancements in concrete technology have led to the use of fiber reinforcement. The main purpose of fiber reinforcement is fracture control, not structural reinforcement. By properly combining two or more fiber types, hybrid fiber reinforced concrete has the ability to enhance concrete's overall qualities and produce performance concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the compressive and flexural strength of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete, which uses fibers made of polypropylene and Glass. Five M25 grade mixes, one standard control mix, and four hybrid fiber reinforced concrete mixes were made specifically for this purpose. To ascertain the workability of the hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. a compressive and flexural test is conducted to investigate the hybrid fiber reinforced concrete's mechanical characteristics.
