The concordance between theoretical and experimental model for formworks made of dispersely reinforced concrete with polypropylene fibers

Abstract

The idea of concrete reinforcement using different types of fibers dispersed in its mass is very old. On the other side, polypropylene fibers used in concrete are something new. Practical applications of dispersely reinforced concrete with polypropylene fibers are various; one of them may be achieving the shuttering for lintels. A series of practical tests showed the efficiency of this type of items regarding their achievement, handling, commissioning and behavior under loads.The paper presents the concordance between the practical tests and theoretical model.
