Investigation of Strength of Concrete by Using Steel & Glass Fibers
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Concrete is the most widely utilized “man-made” material globally for construction in many developing countries in all types of civil engineering works. Joseph Aspdin created the first true artificial cement by burning ground limestone and clay together. The burning process changed the chemical properties of the materials and Joseph Aspdin created stronger cement than what using plain crushed limestone would produces the other major part of concrete besides the cement is the aggregate. Aggregates include sand, crushed stone, gravel, slag, ashes, burned shale, and burned clay. Fine aggregate (fine refers to the size of aggregate) is used in making concrete slabs and smooth surfaces. Coarse aggregate is used for massive structures or sections of cement. In this study, an attempt is made to use mixed steel and glass fibers with varying percentages of fibers from 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 percentages of total fiber content for M 25 grade structural concrete with locally available aggregates ( i.e. fine & coarse aggregates ) and Portland pozzolanic Cement ( i.e. PPC ). The details of investigation along with the analysis and discussion of the test results are reported here in.
