Effect of Mixing Fibers on Flexural Strength of Concrete Mix

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2

Abstract

Economic growth of the country depends on good infrastructural facilities, as good roads are the life line of country to meet ever increasing demands of users. The sustained efforts need to be made from long run point of view with respect to quality and quantity of roads in terms of load carrying capacity; performance of pavement, durability, length and economy is needed. Nano innovation is most encouraging region of science. Now-a-days different types of Fibres are used as a part of the Fibre Reinforced Concrete Pavement. In this study, M40 concrete with and without additive Brass Coated Micro Steel Fibers (BMSF) is prepared and strength values using Compressive strength test, Flexural strength test is found out and from such values the optimum dosage of additives is determined which can be suggested to highway contractors.
