This paper approaches the effects on addition of numerous proportions of polypropylene (PP) strapping roll fibers on the split tensile strength and workability of M25 grade concrete. An experimental initiative was accomplished to explore the effect of PP strapping roll fibers on tensile strength of concrete at 7 and 28 days of curing. The main intend of the investigation program is to study the effect of PP strapping roll fibers on concrete by varying aspect ratio of fibers by 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and also varying fiber content by 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% & 2.5% by replacing the total volume of concrete and finding the optimum aspect ratio and fiber content. Concrete specimens were tested for the split cylinder test. This test results exhibit that the optimum aspect ratio for the particular type of fiber was found to be 50 and optimum fiber content 1.5% by total volume of concrete. The influence of such type of fiber was found to drop its workability with subsequent rise in fiber content and its aspect ratio. However, further investigations are highly endorsed and should be carried out to understand more mechanical and durability attributes of PP strapping roll fiber reinforced concrete.
