Sorptivity and Water Absorpotion of Steel Fibers Reinforced Ternary Blended Concrete

Abstract :

Because of the difficulties associated with the absorption test, on the one hand, and, on the other, because permeability test measures the response of concrete to pressure, which is rarely the driving force of fluids entering concrete, there is a need for another type of test. Such a test measures the rate of absorption of water by capillary suction of unsaturated concrete. In this paper, an attempt is made to study the properties of steel fie reinforced concrete with ternary blends. The mix design was carried out for M30 grade concrete as per IS: 10262–2009. Concrete has good potential in durability.
