Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol fiber material is used in the concrete so that type of concrete is called also green concrete. Because of the expansion in the development of modern areas the power necessity of the nation is quickly expanding. India relies upon nuclear energy as its principal source, consequently expanding power prerequisites consistently. The current situation of our nation shows that 75% of the nation's all out introduced power which produce from coal-based is 90%. As per the Indian standard level of fly debris in Portland cement is restricted to 15 to 35% however, we are expanding the rate up to 45%, this addition gives higher functionality and lesser strength. The increment thickness of the mortar joint will directly reduce the compressive strength of the prism. The compressive strength test on the brick masonry sample example showed that the brickwork with a 7.0 mm thick mortar joint has higher compressive strength when contrasted with 10.0mm and 15.0 mm thick mortar joints. The compressive strength testing on the cube showed that the different water-cement ratio with fly ash gives higher workability but reduced compressive strength. 35% fly ash, 0.5 w/c ratios, 7mm thickness of mortar, and 1% PVA fiber are more economical because compressive strength and workability are also high.
