Achievement to conditions with more economic efficiency has been of the main objectives of construction projects, so that reinforcement of bed soil in these projects can be effective in obtaining of those objective. In order to realize those objectives, wide studies have been conducted which resulted in very various methods of improvement (physical, mechanical, and chemical). In this way, due to efficacy and special capabilities of mechanical methods, using of Polypropylene fibers have drawn ...
Due to the increasing cost of high quality materials needed for different geotechnical projects, engineers try to improve the physical properties of local soils through- out different methods and techniques. This paper investigates interaction effect of usage of polypropylene fiber and zeolite on strength parameters of silty sand. Accordingly, usage of an additive material besides fiber, raises an issue about synergistic interaction effect on soil strength. Usage of fiber or zeolite lonely is ...
Mechanical characteristics of fiber concrete is affected by type, percentage, length to diameter ration, context resistance, size and shape of fiber, sample preparing method and size and shape of sand material. Therefore, in order to use in each case, mix design should be prepared and it must be tested. The current research have been designed and conducted in order to examine the effect of applying propylene fiber on pressure behavior of Self- consolidating concrete. Washed sand with fineness ...
