Experimental Investigations on Fly Ash Blended Concrete with Steel Fibers

Abstract

A unique attempt has been made to examine the suitability of replacing newlineOrdinary Portland Cement by Flyash obtained from chimneys. Green newlineConcrete comprising of Flyash is an innovative product in the construction newlinefield whose results made a big positive impact on the sustainability of newlineenvironment as well as beneficial for construction industries in terms of newlineeconomy. Along with Flyash, hooked steel fibres in the form of newlinereinforcement are also provided to impart tensile strength to resist cracking newlineand withstand load specially earthquake load. It is an attempt which has been newlinemade to form a green concrete comprising of waste Fly ash with addition of newlinehooked steel fibre. This study deals with investigation for M25 Grade of newlineconcrete to study the mechanical properties of Steel fiber reinforced concrete newline(SFRC) containing fiber of an interval of 0.5% from 0.0% to 2.0% by newlineweight of cement. newline
