Effect on Flexural Strength by using Glass Fibre and Metakaolin in Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrete is weak in tension. The introduction of fibres with 10% fixed metakaolin by the weight of cement in concrete have significantly improves its Flexural strength. The use of different types of fibres & Metakaolin has shown positive responses among the researchers. In the present study alkali resistant glass fibres were used in the concrete mixes. A total of 7 mixes were prepared by varying the percentages of glass fibres and metakaolin in M25 grade of concrete mixes. Based on the laboratory results the Flexural strength was reported to increase up to 19%. The Flexural strength of concrete is improved which shows the use of glass fibres in concrete mixes may reduce its shortcoming of low Flexural strength without affecting its workability and compressive strength.
