Implication

This review demonstrates improved mechanical performance and thermal resistance in polypropylene-reinforced concrete, suggesting new reinforcement methods for harsh environments.

Key Points

Polypropylene macrofibers enhance mechanical performance and durability in concrete, showing significant improvements over conventional options.
Tests on fiber dosages of 2.25%, 2.75%, 3.25%, and 3.5% reveal superior heat resistance and crack mitigation, indicating substantial potential for practical applications.
Observational analysis across more than 50 studies highlights gaps in research regarding dosage optimization and long-term behavior under stress.
Future research directions aim to assess polypropylene microfibers as a viable, sustainable option for reinforcing high-grade concrete used in infrastructure.
