Concrete modification by using polymeric materials has been studied for the past four decades [3]. Concrete containing polypropylene fibres has been playing a growing role in construction, specifically in foundation piles, pre-stressed piles, piers, highways, industrial floors, bridge decks, facing panels, flotation units for walkways and heavyweight coatings for underwater pipes. The material is also used to make the walls of buildings more resistant to seismic activity. It usually takes up 0.3% to 1.5% of the final product by volume.
