Description
Summary:Steel reinforcement is added to the concrete to compensate for its low tensile strength. Civil engineering structures must meet certain structural and durability requirements. Each structure serves a distinct purpose, and in order to reach this goal, typical concrete cement must be modified. The goal of this research is to know the effect of the addition of different amounts of steel fibers and polyvinyl alcohol solution (PVA) affect concrete strength. This is done by adding steel fibers and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution by adding a solution of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in two percentages by weight of cement, 1.2%, and 2%, as well as adding two percentages of steel fibers by weight of cement, 0.5%, and 1%, then combining the proportions of two materials to obtain the best properties of concrete in terms of compressive strength and tensile strength and improve workability with superplasticizers, identifying the best proportions. The results of several scientists' experiments comparing the results of steel fiber in concrete to conventional concrete showed a considerable improvement in compression and tensile strength.
