Abstract
Technical and economic comparison of the effectiveness of the use of fiber-reinforced concrete based on fibers of various origins
Incoming article date: 16.11.2020The article investigates the physical and mechanical properties of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete with metal, polypropylene and polyamide fibers, using Portland cement, hyperplasticizer. Comparison of strength characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete made using metal fiber, polypropylene and polyamide fibers is carried out. A technical and economic comparison of the efficiency of using fibers of various origins has been made. According to the cost calculations, the use of polyamide fibers is cost-effective, since the cost of materials is lower than the cost of fiber-reinforced concrete materials based on polypropylene fibers of this composition.
