Concrete Mechanical Properties and Design Pavement Thickness with Various Types of Steel, Glass

The influence of various fiber-reinforcements on the mechanical characteristics of regular and high strength concrete was explored in this study. The design thickness of a jointed plain concrete pavement was then analysed utilising the mechanical characteristics of concrete under the same traffic-loading circumstances. Three distinct fiber reinforced concretes were made for this purpose, each with a 1% volume percentage of hooked steel fibre, polypropylene fibre, and glass fibre. Compressive strength, flexural strength, and residual strength are among the mechanical qualities studied. Mechanical testing has revealed that steel fibre outperforms glass and polypropylene fibre in terms of compressive and flexural strength.
