Abstract

This paper analyzes the influence of polypropylene fiber content on the compressive strength of shale ceramsite and fly ash ceramsite concrete. The results show that less polypropylene will have small influence on compressive strength of two types of ceramsite concrete. With the increase of polypropylene fiber admixture, the influence increases first and then decreases. When the amount of polypropylene fiber admixture is 2㎏/㎡, compressive strength of two kinds of ceramsite concrete after 28 days can all have their peak values and the concrete prepared can all reach their highest intensity. When the polypropylene fiber admixture is larger than 2㎏/㎡, compressive strength of two kinds of ceramsite concrete will drop drastically, which will even be lower than the designed strength of the ceramsite concrete.
