- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the mechanical and microscopic properties of concrete containing different dosages of polyolefin fibers and slag through tests of compressive strength, resistivity, water absorption, mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Test results indicate that the specimens containing slag have higher compressive strength, lower absorption, lower resistivity and denser porestructures than the control and specimen made with fibers. The specimens containing slag and polyolefin fiber demonstrated better performances in fiber reinforced concrete. Scanning electron microscopy illustrates that the polyolefin fiber acts to arrest the propagation of internal cracks. Still, there are cracks and weaknesses between fiber and paste that cause harmful ions penetrated easier.
