Concrete has high fragility alongside low rigidity and ductility. The properties of concrete can be improved with the addition of different types of fibers such as steel, polypropelene, coir and jute hence, it is named as composite concrete. In this study, the investigation is carried out with the effect of individual fibers and the combination of different type of fibers (i.e. steel + polypropylene; SPF and Coir +jute; CJF ) by considering the various volume fractions i,e .0.5%,1%,1.5% and 2% under Uniaxial compression and flexure. The mix selected for the development of composite concrete was M30 grade. The compressive strength increases by 15% with the use of artificial fibers. The use of natural fibers (coir and jute fibers) increases the flexural strength but however compressive strength goes on decreasing with increase of fibers.
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.
