Mechanical Properties of Pineapple Fibre Reinforced Concrete Subjected to High Temperature
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material. Apart from its excellent properties, concrete is very poor in tensile strength. In order to improve the tensile properties, fibres are added to the concrete, which is known as fibre added concrete. This study is focused on the structural properties of Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF) added concrete at elevated temperature. PALF is abundantly available at low cost in tropical areas, especially in Kerala, India. In this study, PALF of specific aspect ratio will be randomly dispersed in M25 concrete for the preparation of test specimens.
