Experimental analysis of polypropylene fibre mixed adobe

Mustafa Haluk ÇELİK | Mahmut DURMAZ

The aim of this study is to search some mechanical features of polypropylene fibre mixed adobe. As fibre additive polypropylene, in proportions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, soil with 26% clay and 7 kg straw per cubic meter were mixed and mixture with adobe was prepared. As a result the compressive strengths of the polypropylene fibre mixed samples were determined as 40 kgf/cýrf in %0, 26.55 kgf/cm in 5%, 31.62 kgf/cm2 in 10%,37.35 kgf/cm2 in 15%; tensile strengths as 13.76 kgf/cm2 in 0%, 45.80 kgf/cm2 in 5%, 46.90 kgf/cm2 in 10%, 47.20 kgf/cm2 in 15%; heat conduction values as 0.58 kcal/mh°c in 0%, 0. ...Более
