This paper presents the effect of the addition of steel and propylene fibers on the mechanical properties of floor
concretes (compressive and tensile strengths in the bending test). The polypropylene fibers used in the tests
(fibrillated and single fibers) are dosed in the amount of 0.5 kg/m3
to 2 kg/m3, and the straight and hooked steel is dosed from 10 kg/m3 to 25 kg/m3
. It is shown that, after 28 days of maturation, the highest compressive
strength is achieved by concretes containing the addition of 25 kg/m3
of hook-like steel fiber. In addition, the
influence of the fiber content on the consistency of the concrete mix and workability is investigated. It was
shown that the amount of steel fibers dosed in the tests, regardless of their shape, did not adversely affect the
consistency and workability of the concrete mix. On the other hand, the addition of polypropylene fibers has
a significant impact on the characteristics of the concrete mix. The addition of 2 kg/m3
of polypropylene fibers
caused the change of consistency from S4 to S1/S2 and worsened the workability of the mixture. All of the
tested series of the concrete are created using the same technology. The concrete production technology reflects
the concrete production technology for flooring concretes.
