Sumario: The present academic paper analyzed a general approach of compressive strength and rigidity behavior, through of modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio of a concrete. Variables utilized were polypropylene reinforcement in percentages corresponding to 0.30 % and 0.50% of cement weight; as well as laboratory furnace exposure, with the aim to emulate the increase of the temperature that happens progressively during a fire, using different temperatures (room temperature, 130°C and 180°C). In order to obtain this data, standard cylinders were manufactured for further testing. From obtained results was concluded that the optimum percentage of polypropylene fiber considering the exposure to high temperatures was 0.50%, since it reported a significant increase in compressive strength, which would mean the preservation of the supposed structure in case of being exposed to a fire. Besides, the mechanical properties that trigger concrete´s rigidity showed results of modulus of elasticity close to those established by regulations, and Poisson’ ratio values obtained were close to those established in the bibliography.
