Abstract:

In our country, it has been found out that the short-lived service period, maintenance and repair costs of concrete covered irrigation canals are a considerably a high cost of expense. Today the use of additive fibers in concrete random is the most effective methods of improving the concrete’s physical and mechanical properties. Samples of concrete were produced with polypropylene fibre, glass fibre, natural fibre, steel fibre and also various pure fibre (control) in a laboratory. Compressive strength splitting-tensile strength freezing-thawing permeability of the produced concretes were compared with each other. When the results of the conducted tests were evaluated, it was concluded that additional glass fibre was the most suitable one in practice while the wet cover cure was considered to be the most effective cure due to practical application
