STUDY ON FIBER ADDITION AND ITS EFFECT ON CONCRETE STRENGTH

  • Sonu Sahu, Amit Richariya

Abstract

This study summarizes the characteristics strength of concrete with addition of steel fiber in cement. According to many research papers it founds that the concrete is weak in tension and flexural strength and good in compressive strength, so in this research the steel fiber is added in the concrete to increase the split tensile strength specimen od cube size 150 mm*150mm*150 mm. And cylinder size 200mm long and 100mm dia are casted for finding the compressive strength and split tensile strength respectively. Fibers are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fiber reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibers on strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibers give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibers. Hence, in this project I was interested in finding the effect of steel fibers in concrete. An experimental investigation on the behavior of concrete specimens reinforced with steel fibers and subjected to compressive and flexural loading is presented. Tests were conducted on specimens with three different fiber volume fractions. It was observed that SFRC specimens showed enhanced properties compared to that of normal specimens.
