Experimental Investigation of Ternary Blended Hooked Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Lakshmi Chandran J | Sithara S ^[2]

Abstract: Cement industry may be one amongst the key sources of environmental pollution so the reduction of cement demand should be improved. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), silica fumes (SF), fly ash (FA) and metakaolin are the by-products of industries and it ought to be reused to scale back the waste pollution. Thus, this study investigated the employment of Ground granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash as a cement replacement in ternary homogenized cements on mechanical properties. In this paper study the effect of using Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) in hooked fiber reinforced concrete. SCMs introduced in two different forms such as binary and ternary blends. In this paper, various properties of blended hooked fiber reinforced concrete (TBHFRC) are done. These properties are compared to Conventional Hooked Fiber Reinforced Concrete (CHFRC). Here found the optimum percentage of fly ash and GGBS and also found the maximum strength of concrete by the addition of GGBS with the optimum percentage of fly ash and vice versa. Also found the best combination of fly ash and GGBS. In this project 1 %weight of fraction of hooked fiber are incorporated in concrete with constant dosage of 0.8 % of plasticizer by the weight of binder. Here compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength calculated.

Keywords: Supplementary cementitious material, ternary blends, binary blends, metakaolin, GGBS and hooked fiber
