This research focuses on analyzing the impact of incorporating polypropylene fibers on the mechanical properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). The main objective is to evaluate how these fibers affect the compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity of UHPC. The research is divided into eight distinct phases, ranging from the collection of information on UHPC to conducting compression, flexural, and modulus of elasticity tests. The optimal mix design is defined, considering fiber percentages of 0.15%, 0.30%, and 0.45%, and a rigorous experimental process is carried out to evaluate the properties of the concrete in both fresh and hardened states. The results show that polypropylene fibers have a significant impact on the compressive strength of UHPC, with an increase of 16% at 3 days and values of up to 1305.3 kg/cm2 at 21 days. Additionally, a notable improvement in flexural strength is observed, with a sample containing a 0.30% concentration reaching a strength of 28.30 MPa. Regarding the modulus of elasticity, there is a considerable improvement in the samples reinforced with fibers, with a maximum value of 40.80 GPa, indicating a greater capacity to resist elastic deformation. In conclusion, this research provides new insights into the effect of polypropylene fibers on the mechanical behavior of UHPC, which has significant implications for its application in civil construction. The findings can serve as a basis for future research and for the formulation of practical recommendations in the design and use of this type of reinforced concrete.
