N2 - The significant increase in the construction of buildings has led to the appearance of different phenomena that affect the elements that make it up. Due to their large area, in contact with the surface, solid slabs are the most vulnerable to these effects. The appearance of cracks at an early age is one of the most recurrent problems in concrete slabs, which is why it is important to counteract the presence of cracks to improve their mechanical properties to obtain buildings with greater durability. For this, the incorporation of polypropylene fibers has become one of the best alternatives to mitigate the appearance of cracks. In the present investigation, two concrete mixtures reinforced with polypropylene fibers of two lengths will be evaluated and tested for slump, plastic shrinkage, compressive strength and residual flexural strength.
