Mechanical Behavior of Concrete Incorporating Recycled Steel and Polypropylene Fibers: Experimental Investigation
Concrete is presently the utmost extensively utilized construction material as a consequence of its conventional casting to any configuration and shape at the site. As fibers are able to premix in a conservative way, the perception of steel and polypropylene fibers in concrete has introduced an additional aspect in concrete construction. This research presents the experimental studies for investigating the influence of recycled steel fibers (RSF) and recycled polypropylene fibers (RPF) on the physical as well as mechanical performance of concrete. RSF and RPF were incorporated in a variety of percentages, i.e., 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% by volume of concrete, along with control specimen. The physical properties of all constituent materials, RSF as well as RPF, have been determined. The workability of fresh concrete for each batch of concrete has also been assessed through a slump test. A significant number of cylindrical specimens were cast. The experimental program comprises splitting tensile and compressive strength test and modulus of elasticity in addition to Poisson's ratio test on concrete incorporating RSF and RPF. The stress–strain performance of both RSF and RPF concrete has also been illustrated in this research. Based on the experimental investigations, it can be disclosed that the workability of concrete declines gradually with the intensification of the addition of fibers. However, there is a significant enhance in tensile and compressive strength along with modulus of elasticity of RSF concrete, followed by RPF concrete. Furthermore, the integration of RSF and RPF increases the stiffness of concrete in addition to make the concrete quite ductile.
