PP and Concrete 1

[Isa001]

Forum folks,

I am after some perfomance information for polypropylene material used in the construction industry.

I want to use PP (fibres) in concrete and want some idea of its design life. PP is inert and unaffected by alkalis but is there any long term 50years + data to show that PP in concrete is OK.

The manufacturers all seem to be rather short on info.

Thanks for you help!

PP only came into common use in the 70's (I think it was developed inthe mid 60's), so I doubt that there is any 50 years data avaliable.
