Study of Fibre Reinforced Concrete Using Sustainable Materials

Abstract

Our current generation is a pillar of this developing world in construction field, which also leads to decrease in natural raw materials and increase in production of many industrial waste materials creating an impact to living life through flaming and landfilling. Concrete is one of high production material in our daily life and have most probable way to substitute the waste materials. In this present work waste material are used for replacement of materials in developing the fibre reinforced concrete. Workable and mechanical characteristics of fibre reinforced concrete have assessed by substitution of coarse aggregate with recycled aggregate at(0%,10%,20%,30%, and 40%), and fine aggregate as M- sand, waste foundry sand and bottom ash and binder is replaced with silica fume 7% in addition to that fibre content as 0%,0.5%,1% and 1.5% of micro steel fibre and Basalt Fibre by weight of cement. Workability decreases with rise in incorporation of recycled aggregate and also it diminishes workability with the inclusion of fibres. The concrete mixture with replacement of coarse aggregate including micro steel and basalt fibre content have exhibited higher mechanical strength.
