Experimental Investigation on the Performance of Interlocking Concrete Hollow Block Strengthened With Steel Fibres
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
The work aims to carry out an investigation on performance of hollow concrete block masonry strengthened with steel fibre. The geometry of the block was so arranged that the, bonding was achieved by interlocking and cement grout. The inner hollow portions considerably reduce the dead load. The side face of block was casted with good surface finish, thereby reducing the plastering cost. In order to get a finished surface several trial mixes were tested. The respective blocks were casted with and without steel fibres and the test results were compared with that of solid concrete block and concrete hollow block. The blocks were used to build masonry walls and the load bearing capacity of the walls was examined. Hollow block strengthened with steel fibre can be effectively used as load bearing wall.
