The Strengths of Recron 3s Fibrous Concrete with and without Super Plasticizers

Abstract

The Strengths Of Recron 3s Fibrous Concrete With And Without Super Plasticizers From last many decades, usage of concrete has increased on large scale all over the world. Concrete ingredients used are becoming more costly day by day and also demand for the same is increasing widely all over. These ingredients are also extinguishing with time and some of them are also polluting the surrounding environment on large scale.

One of the main ingredients is cement, while production of cement CO2 is emitted out. Replacement of cement by a pozzalanic material named Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, which is byproduct or waste product of steel manufacturing industries. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag act as cost reducing ingredient and also increase many mechanical properties of concrete.

Conclusion

Using Portland cement and locally available aggregates, super plasticizer and water, an attempt has been made to study first, the effect of part replacement of cement by ground granulated blast furnace slag on engineering properties of concrete. As there is decreasing trend of the characteristics, a synthetic fiber which is commonly available in the local market under the trade name Recron 3S has been added in varying proportions.
