Experimental Study on Strength and Durability Properties of Steel Fibers & Glass Fibers using GGBS based Concrete
Roopa Bhargavi P. | Bhanu Pravallika S. [2]
Abstract: Concrete is the widely used construction material in civil engineering industry due to its massive properties like high structural strength and stability. The demand and cost of cement is growing day to day, so investigators are looking for supplementary materials with the main objective of reducing solid waste disposal problem, by using waste as supplementary by maintaining the same properties or by enhancing the properties by using selected materials. The study has been made to evaluate the effect on mechanical and durability properties of M25 grade concrete made with replacement of cement with Ground Granulate Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), (0 %, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40 %) by weight and the addition of Steel fiber in different percentages (0 %, 0.5 %, 1 %, 1.5 % and 2 %) and glass fiber in different percentages (0 %, 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 %, 0.4 %). For each set of fibers, mechanical properties were studied by performing Compression test for Cubes, Flexural test for beams and Split Tensile test for cylinders and durability properties were studied by performing sulphate attack test cubes.
