Comparative Study on High-Performance Concrete Using SBR And Enriched Fibers

Abstract

High performance concrete, due to their high strength and durability prevent the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures and can be utilized in the rehabilitation of structures. The objectives of this study are to compare the use of SBR and Polypropylene fibers with glass powder in Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) blends. An investigation was conducted on the characteristics of both fresh and hardened UHPC blends. An investigation into the workability properties of UHPC in both its fresh and hardened states was carried out. An assessment of the performance of UHPC during compression, tension, and flexure was done. This paper aims to systematically assess the impact of SBR and enriched polypropylene fibers on the workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength of UHPC. The evaluation was conducted by laboratory experimentation. Tests were conducted on cast cubes, cylinders, and beams to determine qualities such as compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and durability.
