The present research work aims to analyze the use of metallic fibers and polypropylene fibers to improve the modulus of rupture of concrete in urban rigid pavement in the city of Cusco. In some districts of this city, there are still areas that lack pavements and sidewalks, for which urban improvement and trafficability projects are currently being implemented. For which, in rigid pavements, a concrete with a resistance of 280 Kg/cm² is considered according to the norm, which is the focus of this research work. Climatic and geographical conditions represent a challenge for paving, since cracks, changes in the mechanical behavior of the soil and unevenness affect the physical-mechanical properties of concrete. This increases the likelihood of structural failures, thus requiring higher maintenance and increasing costs to ensure its optimum serviceability and useful life. In this study, an analysis is made of the design of the standard concrete mix pattern of the standard urban rigid pavement included in the projects for improving vehicular trafficability. In parallel, 3 fiber-reinforced concrete mix designs are proposed, one with polypropylene fiber reinforcement, another with metallic fiber reinforcement and a third design with a mix of both fibers; after the proposed mixes are prepared, specimens and beams will be tested at early ages of 7, 14 and 21 days respectively, since the importance lies in the fact that up to day 21, the flexural strength reaches 60 or 70% of the maximum strength. Based on the results obtained from the laboratory tests, it is verified in which early age period of the concrete the minimum value required according to the standard is achieved and thus perform a comparative analysis between the design of the standard mix and the proposed fiber reinforced mix designs and determine which one has better results in terms of the modulus of rupture and the f'c of the concrete.
