This study aims to experimentally investigate the possibilities of reusing Granite Sawing waste (GSW) in Fibre Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete (FRSCC) using Polypropylene (PP) fibers. The effectiveness of GSW at 5, 10, 15, and 20% by weight instead of cement was investigated. The PP fibers were used at volume fractions of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15%. In order to study the microstructure and to identify the elements of the FRSCC, SEM was used. Fresh and hardened properties were evaluated. Flyash was used as an additional mineral admixture while superplasticizer was also added to achieve required flow parameters. The GSW along with PP fibers increases the compressive strength of FRSCC. An improvement in splitting tensile strength was also observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
