Study of Effects of Polyester Fibers on Compressive Strength of Concrete

Abstract

The importance of concrete in modern society cannot be overestimated. Look around you and you will find concrete structures everywhere such as buildings, roads, bridges, and dams and it is very difficult to find another material of construction as versatile as concrete. Concrete also has its some drawbacks, to overcome these deficiencies fibers can be used as secondary reinforcement.The present work deals with results of experimental investigation of effect of use of Recron 3S polyester fiber on compressive strength of concrete. This has resulted into casting, curing and testing of 27 cube specimen of size (150 X 150 X 150) mm.
