Utilization of Pozzolanic Wastes in the Production of Wastes Coiled Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Abstract

Utilization Of Pozzolanic Wastes In The Production Of Wastes Coiled Fibre Reinforced Concrete is strong in compression but also weak in tension and brittle. Cracks also begin to form as soon as concrete is placed. These 3 drawbacks do not allow normal concrete use in pavements as they lead to lack of ductility along with fracture and failure. Waste materials in the form of polyethylene and tires cause environmental pollution that leads to various health problems.

This paper deals with the effects of polyethylene fiber adding on concrete properties. Concrete grade used was M30, M35 and M40. IRC 44:2008 was followed for the concrete mix design.

There was an increase of 18 percent in the compressive strength of the 28 day along with an increase of 39 percent in flexure and 32 percent in shear strength. The experiments found a 22 percent decrease in the 4-point bending test and a 36 percent decrease in the double shear test in deflection. Finally, it can be concluded that polyethylene and tire can be used effectively in reinforced concrete cement.

Conclusion

This paper deals with the effects of polyethylene fiber adding on concrete properties. Concrete grade used was M30, M35 and M40. IRC 44:2008 was followed for the concrete mix design.
