Experimental investigations on glass and polypropylene fiber reinforced pervious concrete
Publication details: Thane ACC LTD 2025Edition: Vol.99(4), AprDescription: 24-32pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Indian Concrete Journal - ICJSummary: Pervious concrete, known for its high porosity and stormwater management benefits, typically has lower compressive strength, limiting it to low-traffic areas. This study explores enhancing its strength using glass and polypropylene fibers. Mix design was done according to IRC 044, with 63 batches made with varying fiber contents (0.2 %-0.6 %), a 0.38 water-cement ratio, and 20 % target porosity. Optimal glass fiber content was 0.4 %. For polypropylene fibers, the optimal content was 0.2 % for 22 % paste volume (Vp) and 0.4 % for both 24 and 26 % Vp. The results highlight the potential for high-performance, sustainable pervious concrete mixes.| Item type | Current library | Status | Barcode | |
