Analysis of Concrete using Jute Fiber by Non Destructive Testing

The characteristics of fiber reinforced concrete are changed by the alteration of certain factors: type and quantity of fibers, geometric configuration, dispersal, direction, and concentration. India is a developing country and in various developing countries like India economical construction along with economical construction material plays a vital role in the development of country. Waste material in construction can play tremendous role to make it economical and durable due to some of its specific properties relevant to construction materials. This study shows experimental study on utilization of jute fibers as fiber reinforcement in concrete. Jute fiber is a natural fiber. In this project jute fibers are added in concrete by weight of cement in the proportion of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%. Non-destructive test like rebound hammer test is performed on concrete cubes after 7 and 28 days of curing and also to validate the results compressive strength is also performed on the concrete cubes.
