Abstract |
Worldwide the production and consumption of building materials have increased materials have increased in the last decades. Waste of different types (such as fibres, powders, granuals etc.) are used for obtaining construction materials. The aim of this paper is to study the properties of fibers reinforced concrete produced from steel fibers and fly ash. As different dosages of cement were replaced by fly ash and steel fiber, additive material were added. For studying the influence of wastes on mechanical properties of cement concrete (green concrete), different dosages of cement were replaced by flyash and also glass fibre and steel fibre were added. Fibers have been used in concrete as reinforcement and strengthening component under tension. The various strength such as compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength were experimentally noted for each sample, the fly ash was replaced 5, 10, 15 and 20% cement content respectively. The sample was cured for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. The aspect of soaking was also considered. The results obtained indicate noticeable improvement in strength with the inclusion of fibers and cement. |
