Estudio comparativo de la resistencia a la compresión de concreto con fibras de Polipropileno Sikafiber® Ad de Sika y Toc Fibra500 de toxement

Abstract

Throughout history the concrete tests have been developed to analyze their behavior in different situations; either tension or compression taking account their disposal to improve strength and other weaknesses of concrete its pure state has been adding to the mixture synthetic fibers, which provide benefits both plastic and hardened state. The benefit of using synthetic fibers is reflected in the age of it and advances when the concrete is already hardened; and among these benefits is the significantly improves the ability to resist the forces that cause breakage. This project seeks to make a comparison between two fibers companies most recognized nationally and establish the pros and cons of each.
