Abstract |
|
This paper presents Split tensile strength and Durability characteristics of M20 grade concrete with use of cotton fiber and mineral admixture. Silica fume is used as mineral admixture in replacement of cement which effects on performance of concrete. Past few years, fibers and mineral admixtures are utilized to improve the performance of concrete. Super plasticizer is used to maintain the workability of concrete which is based on Sulphonated naphthalene polymers. Silica fume can be utilized to improve strength and durability properties of concrete. The Split tensile strength of cylinders determined at 7 and 28 days and Durability of concrete cubes at 56 days. Cotton fiber added by the weight of concrete and Silica fume in replacement of cement improves strength properties of concrete. |
