Abstract

The (brittle) behavior of concrete, although used in many fields, impedes its use in some applications that require (flexible) behavior, wherefore several types of fibers were utilized among them polypropylene fiber (PPF), that enhances pre-crack tensile strength, toughness, ductility performance, impact resistance, flexural strength resistance, and failure mode. This paper submits a comprehensive review of previous studies that discussed the properties and performance of utilizing PPF in normal and high strength concrete, recycled aggregate concrete and hybrid fiber concrete.
