Adding suitable quantity of polypropylene fiber is very effective for controlling plastic crack of cement mortar. During the experience stage, adding quantity of polypropylene fiber is 1.5 kg/m3, and crack rate of mortar is only 7.7%. Theoretical analysis is made for plastic crack mechanism of cement mortar, the results indicate that adding polypropylene fiber improves critical stress of crack expansion in mortar and notably reduces crack of cement mortar.

Surfaces of hydraulic concrete conduits where significant abrasion of waterborne sediment can occur often degrade and need a regular repair to maintain their serviceability. In this research, thin overlay made of fiber reinforced cement mortar was introduced as a repair measures. Its resistance to underwater abrasion was therefore experimentally evaluated following the procedures of ASTM C 1138. This research utilized three types of fiber: steel fiber, polypropylene fiber, and micro polypropylene fiber (the micro polypropylene fiber was used only in a combination with either the steel or the polypropylene fiber). The influence of these fibers on the abrasion resistance of fiber reinforced cement mortar was then determined in terms of weight loss. The weight loss results showed that the fibers added to mortar specimens can enhance the abrasion resistance. Between the steel and polypropylene fiber, the latter provided better abrasion resistance. In case of the combination mixes, the micro polypropylene fiber increased abrasion resistance when combined with the polypropylene fiber but had no benefit when combined with the steel fiber.

By adopting the method of orthogonal experimental design, the effect of three independent variables, that is steel fiber fraction, polypropylene fiber fraction and silica fume fraction on the compressive strength, flexural strength and shrinkage of cement mortar was studied. The results indicate that steel fiber is one of the most important factors affecting compressive strength and shrinkage, and polypropylene fiber is one of the most important factors affecting flexural strength and shrinkage of cement mortar. By using deviation analysis to analyze the orthogonal experiment results, the optimized mix proportion of hybrid fiber reinforced cement mortar is determined. The hybrid effect of steel fiber and polypropylene fiber on the properties of cement mortar is discussed.

This thesis discusses the influence of fly ash content, fiber content and fiber types on the performance of fiber reinforced concrete, through the flexural and compressive tests on fiber reinforced cement mortar, and the splitting tensile and bending tests on the fiber reinforced concrete. The test result shows that the adding of fly ash can better play the enhancement of polypropylene fiber; the change of the fiber content affects the flexural strength of cement mortar and obviously improves the splitting tensile strength of the reinforced concrete; and the polypropylene fiber and steel fiber have different enhancement on cement mortar due to their qualitative differences.

In order to apply the fiber reinforced cement stabilized waste construction slurry more widely, it is crucial to evaluate its mechanical behavior under freeze and thaw (F–T) cycles. The mechanical properties of fiber cement-modified waste construction slurry (FCMS) under five different F–T cycles were studied using unconfined compressive strength tests. One fixed cement sample with five different types of polypropylene fiber was used in the FCMS. Using the meso random damage model, the two-stage damage stress–strain relationship of FCMS was established using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results were as follows: (1) The mechanical properties of FCMS at room temperature and in an F–T environment were significantly improved by fiber; (2) The elastic modulus of FCMS decreased in the form of a power function with the increase of F–T cycles; (3) The fitting results of the two-stage F–T damage model based on meso random damage theory were in agreement with the measured data.
