Abstract

In many parts of the world, concrete is a widely used construction material, and as technology develops, so do concrete's properties. High performance concrete is a new improvement in concrete technology that is aimed to allow for the use of materials, exposure situations, and cost requirements while also offering greater service life and durability. Concrete's strength and durability are increased when chemical admixtures and mineral admixtures are used in place of cement. To increase the strength and ductility of high-performance concrete, fibres are added. Polyolefin fibres are synthetic fibres manufactured by humans. The two most popular polyolefin fibres are polypropylene and polyethylene. Fibers made of polyolefin can be used for both structural and non-structural purposes. A polyolefin fibre is wear and corrosion resistant. For testing, M50 grade concrete will be utilised. With varied amounts of polyolefin fibre addition, materials were mixed using M50 grade of concrete and a water cement percentage of 0.34 for fibre reinforced concrete. Super plasticizer is utilised as a chemical admixture, whereas silica fume and metakaolin are employed as mineral admixtures.
