Behaviour of steel and polypropylene fibers in high strength concrete subjected to elevated temperature
The purpose of the study is to know the feasibility of incorporating fibers and the content in HSC to provide sufficient fire resistance and reduce explosive spalling. The investigation will be on the behaviour of Steel and Polypropylene (PP) fibers in HSC under elevated temperatures. The study wa...

| Summary: | The purpose of the study is to know the feasibility of incorporating fibers and the content in HSC to provide sufficient fire resistance and reduce explosive spalling. The investigation will be on the behaviour of Steel and Polypropylene (PP) fibers in HSC under elevated temperatures.
The study was carried out by casting HSC with steel and PP fibers of 0.08%, 0.14% and 0.20% and tested at ambient and both hot and residual temperatures of 250°C, 350°C and 550°. Compressive and splitting tensile strengths of the specimens were obtained using compression test and splitting tensile strength test. |
