Concrete's Properties Mixed with Chopped Jute Fibers

Asrar Ul Haq

Abstract: In this study deals with the concept of fiber reinforced concrete using jute fiber concrete made of cement is strong in compession but weak in tension and this concrete has little resistance to cracking which limits its use. These restruction can be overcome by blending the concrete with fiberous materials which we called as fiber reinforced concrete. This study includes the strength charcteristice of mechanical properties like compression strength, split tensile strength. Tests result shows that the concrete mix with jute fiber can be used in pavement as reinforcing materials.
