A comprehensive study of the polypropylene fibers reinforced conventional concrete
The aim of this study was to study of the properties and characterization of conventional concrete and reinforced concrete with polypropylene fiber. Themes were theoretically addressed: concrete, composites, fibers, polypropylene fibers. In addition, practical tests were carried out, with test speci...
