Portland cement, crushed stone, sand and superplasticizer were used to obtain a high strength concrete with a low water to binder ratio. A reticular polypropylene fiber and a single polypropylene fiber were used to improve the strength of the high strength concrete, but the effects of the two fibers on the slump and strengths were quite different. The reasons of the differences were the surface area and the modulus of elasticity of the fibers. The results show the reticular fiber was better to used in high strength concretes.

Based on experiment, the mix proportion matching with the design and construction requirements is obtained. It meets with the requirement of pump structure on the basis of meeting the strength requirement. On this basis, the basic physical and mechanical performance is studied and the conclusion is that steel fiber high-strength concrete has excellent resistance to splitting, bending and drying shrinkage. The splitting strength and bending strength of steel fiber high-strength concrete named CF60-2 is respectively 38.7% and 56.8% higher than that of plane concrete named C60. The drying shrinkage rate of CF60-2 is 45.5% lower than that of C60 in three days. The results have an important guiding significance to steel fiber high-strength concrete in theoretical and engineering practice.


SCC and FRC may be classified as superior Concrete because of its special proportions and properties. HPC may be a specialized concrete designed top reduce many edges within the construction of concrete structures that can't continually be achieved habitually mistreatment standard ingredients, traditional mixture & hardening practices. Fibres into SCC will produce FRSCC with superior properties in a fresh and hardened state. The bolstered fibres in concrete might improve the durability, flexural strength, impact strength, toughness, drying shrinkage, and failure pattern of the concrete.

The main aim of this work was to investigate the influence of widely used steel fibers and polypropylene fibers on the concrete. From many studies it has been shown that, addition of fibers to the concrete has influenced the cracking of concrete, due to shrinkage, thermal insulation and bleeding of water. So, in this study we made use of ultra high strength concrete mix of M50, and we made use of both steel as well as polypropylene fibers to enhance the properties of the concrete. In this study total five concrete mixes were made with steel fiber in dosages of 2.5%, 2%, 1.5%, 1% and polypropylene fibers are in dosage 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% of the weight of concrete mix. The specimens were casted and all the specimens are tested for 7days and 28 days strength. The results have depicted a gradual increase in the strength of the concrete as the fiber content increased
