A REVIEW STUDY OF POLYMER FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE WITH CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Tariq Ahmad Sheikh, Er. Mohit Bajaj
Abstract
Road transportation is undoubtedly the lifeline of the nation and its development is a crucial concern. The traditional bituminous pavements and their needs for continuous maintenance and rehabilitation operations points towards the scope for cement concrete pavements. There are several advantages of cement concrete pavements over bituminous pavements. Shrinkage cracking of concrete is a major problem in plain cement concrete pavements especially in tropical regions. This paper explains on polymer fibre reinforced concrete pavements, which is a recent advancement in the field of reinforced concrete pavement design. PFRC pavements prove to be more efficient than conventional RC pavements, in several aspects, which are explained in this paper. The design procedure and paving operations of PFRC are also discussed in detail. A detailed case study of Polyester fiber waste as fiber reinforcement is included and the results of the study are interpreted. The paper also includes a brief study of various researchers.
