“…Presence of fibres makes the cement matrix more dense thus increases the compressive strength. Similar findings were also reported by Topcu and Canbaz (2007) who found that compressive strength of PFA concretes with plastic propylene fibres were increased compared to those without fibres. However, Siddique (2004) reported contradicted information that generally presence of sunn hemp fibre induces porosity into PFA concrete thus reduces its compressive strength.…”

“…This may be because of the acceptable variation of concrete properties as the splitting tensile strength for both mixtures were very low, i.e., 0.65 MPa for plain PFA concrete and 0.60 MPa for fibre reinforced PFA concrete, at this very early age and that the blended PFA and PC matrix may not be strong enough for the fibres to take effective. Topcu and Canbaz (2007) also found that PFA concrete with polypropylene fibres exhibited higher splitting tensile strength than the reference PFA concrete without fibres. Siddique (2004) also reported that there was an increase in splitting tensile strength of PFA concrete when san fibres was added compared to that without fibres.…”

“…For the compressive strength, we can see from the fig 4 that the effect of polypropylene fiber is beneficial for the 0.5 and 1 Kg per m 3 concrete [22], Topçu and Canbaz [23] showed that the fibers could reduce the formation and the development of the cracks, and thus lead to the increase in compressive strength. Beyond 1 Kg per m3, the loss in resistance is noted.…”

“…The main aim of environmental protection agencies and governments is to find ways to minimize the problems of disposal and health hazards of these by-products. The productive use of waste materials is one of the ways to alleviate some of the problems of solid waste management [1][2][3]. There are several benefits of using waste materials.…”
