Overview

Randomized trial investigates flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with polypropylene fibres, indicating improved properties.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the impact of polypropylene fibre content on the workability and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete beams.
  • Investigated effects of varying polypropylene fibre content on recycled aggregate concrete performance.
  • Assessed flexural behaviour and mechanical properties of concrete beams.
  • Analyzed crack control and load-bearing capacity in relation to fibre dosage.
  • Polypropylene fibres enhance crack control and post-peak behaviour of recycled concrete beams.
  • Excessive fibre may weaken reinforcement effect due to poor dispersion and reduced uniformity.
  • Moderate fibre content balances load-bearing capacity and deformation capacity effectively.
