Evaluating The Performance of Polymer Concrete Dosed With Low-Cost Steel Fibers & Sbr Latex

Abstract

Fiber Reinforced Polymer Cement Concrete (FRPCC) is a relatively modern approach towards the conventional concreting techniques. It possesses excellent strength and durability properties. Looking into the various advantages of Polymer Cement Concrete (PCC) and Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), an exhaustive literature survey was carried out to study their uses and effect on the various properties of conventional concrete. An attempt has been made to present review on polymer modified concrete dosed with Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Latex polymer & Low cost Steel fibers. The fibers used in this study are ordinary stapler pins (Kangaro No. 10 - 1M). The objective of this study is to find out the optimum quantities of the steel fibers and SBR polymers in the concrete mix, which is able to achieve the maximum compressive and flexural strength for M30 grade concrete. In PCC, use of two or more fiber in a suitable combination may potentially not only improve the overall property of PCC but may also result in performance synergy.
