ABSTRACT
Geotextiles are highly recommended to use as a composite material to enhance the tensile properties of brittle materials in construction. Polypropylene (PP) is a bi-axial type of geo-fabric shows better performance and exhibits good tensile characteristics along both the directions. Recently PP geo-fabrics widely used in weak subgrades as well as in many infrastructural works for strengthening purpose. In other hand concrete is heterogeneous mixture and because of its weak ductile characteristics researchers’ insights more on this area. In this present work an attempt is made to study the behavior of concrete using steel fiber with PP geo-grids in concrete. The experimental studies conducted on basic concrete elements like Cubes, Prisms and Cylinders with and without percentage of steel fiber with PP geo-fabrics. The experimental result shows that enhance in strength and ductility of concrete elements compared with normal conventional concrete specimens.
