Effect of Inclusion of Glass Fibers and Fly ash in Concrete Paver Blocks
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
In this experimental investigation compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption of paver block were evaluated by replacing portion of cement with the flyash in M35 grade concrete. Glass fibers were also incorporated along with the fly ash to further enhance the mechanical properties. Different proportions of glass fiber starting from 0.1% to 0.4% by weight of cement in the paver block were added. The optimum fiber content from test results was found to be 0.2% by weight of cement. 10% to 40% by weight of cement was replaced with the fly ash. From the test results obtained the optimum fly ash and glass fiber content were found to be 20% and 0.2% respectively. Cost analysis of paver block was done and was compared with conventional paver block.
