Experimental Investigation on Fresh and Hardened Properties of Concrete with Macro 3s Plastic Fiber and Fly Ash
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The objectives of present investigation are to evaluate the hardened and fresh properties of concrete with FA and Macro 3s Plastic fiber. Cement is key constitute of concrete which plays an central role in the lifetime of the construction, on the other hand owing to the manufacture of cement extra quantity of CO is produced which consequences in worldwide heating. So that we have used as fly ash an alternative material for cement. In this work we have used 30% fly ash as cement and also we have used 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% Macro 3s Plastic fiber by volume of cement. Hardened and fresh belongings of conventional concrete without FA and fiber were evaluated initially. Then the properties obtained in concrete with 30% fly ash and 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% Macro 3s Plastic fibre was compared with conventional concrete. It was shown that as the percentage of fiber added increased, workability decreased. Additionally, concrete containing fly ash and fiber had maximum compressive and split tensile strength at 30% fly ash and 1.5% fiber.
