ResumoThe results of a series of tests of specimens made of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) are reported. The tests were performed to evaluate FRC for use in the underground railway system in Warsaw. The tests were initiated as a result of the successful replacement of an ordinary plain concrete for substrate under rails with polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete, this composite material being of practically the same cost as the plain concrete. The tests performed on various mixture compositions showed considerable improvement of several properties with respect to the ordinary plain concrete.
