Abstract
There are various practical applications of dispersely reinforced concrete with polypropylene fibers; one of them could be achieving formworks for concrete columns. This paper presents some practical tests showing the combined effect of a lost shuttering made by dispersely reinforced concrete with fibers and a steel reinforced concrete core, for round and square shaped columns. The test results could be considered a contribution to the development of knowledge in the dispersely reinforcement area using one type of polypropylene fibers for which information on their application field are little or missing.
