This paper presents the results to compare the effect of polypropylene twisted bundle (PPTB) fibers in enhancing the mechanical properties of oil palm shell fiber-reinforced concrete (OPSFRC). The volume fraction (Vf) of 0.125%, 0.25%, 0.375% and 0.5% were studied for each fiber. As PPTB fibers we...
