Flexural Behaviour of Precast Aerated Concrete Panel (PACP) with Added Fibrous Material: An Overview
The usage of precast aerated concrete panel as an IBS system
has become the main alternative to conventional construction system. The
usage of this panel system contributes to a sustainable and environmental
friendly construction. This paper presents an overview of the precast
aerated concrete panel with added fibrous material (PACP). PACP is
fabricated from aerated foamed concrete with added Polypropylene fibers
(PP). The influence of PP on the mechanical properties of PACP are
studied and reviewed from previous research. The structural behaviour of
precast concrete panel subjected to flexure load is also reviewed. It is
found that PP has significant affects on the concrete mixture’s compressive
stregth, tensile strength and flexural strength. It is also found that PP
manage to control the crack propagation in the concrete panel
