The objective of this work is to study the influence of the incorporation of polypropylene fiber in mortar to be used for structural repair purposes such as lightened slabs. Comparative trials were conducted in the research between a mortar pattern, without the addition of fibres and mortars with different doses of added fiber. Added fiber that was used was the Sika-Cem Fiber 1 in doses of 300, 400 and 900 g. of fiber per cubic meter of mortar. Resulting in a total of four mix designs, for resistance to compression of to 28 days. Trials to mortar in fresh were the settlement and temperature, giving greater emphasis to the evaluation of cracks by plastic shrinkage, which was developed under controlled environmental conditions, based on the guidelines exposed in the standard ASTM C1579- 13 “Standar test method for evaluating plastic shrinkage cracking of restrained fiber reinforced concrete (Using a steel form insert)”. In hardened mortar State was carried out trials of compression and flexion in accordance ASTM C109 and ASTM C293, respectively. The analysis of the results of this research that a greater amount of added fiber mortar settlement is less, less is cracking and briefly delays the onset of the first crack, with respect to the mortar pattern could be observed. Hardened mortar, it was determined that the addition of polypropylene fibers increases slightly (not significant) resistance to compression, however not overcame the resistance of mortar pattern. With respect to the resistance to bending, this was indirectly proportional behavior to the addition of fibres. Greater addition of fibers, the resistance decreases and vice versa. Finally, it was concluded that with the use fiber, better results are obtained both in the fresh mortar, due to its good behavior against cracking, and in the hardened state, with a slight increase in its resistance to bending. Having an optimal cost-benefit ratio.
