Experimental Determination Of Compressive, Split Tensile And Flexural Strength Of HFRC Using Steel And Polypropylene Fibres In Different Proportions
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
The use of concrete, i.e. composite mix of hydraulic cement and aggregates in building applications is extensive and hence hybrid fibre reinforced concrete was developed and tested for practical use in day to day life. The strength properties of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete was determined by using steel and polypropylene fibres with total volume of fibre fraction of 0.75% and the results were analyzed to determine the optimum combination of fibre which gives better performance in terms of strength. The investigation and comparison of the compressive, flexural and tensile strength of concrete for various mixture proportion of concrete was done In the paper, the effect of inclusion of polypropylene and steel fibers on the compressive, flexural and tensile properties of fiber reinforced concrete using M40 grade concrete is studied. Control and five hybrid fiber composites were cast using different fiber proportions of steel and polypropylene at a total volume fraction of 0.75%. The experimental work was divided into six group. Each group consists of 6 cubes, 6 cylinder and 6 beam. Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength test were performed and results were extensively analyzed to identify performance synergy.
