A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYBRID FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE WITH PLAIN CEMENT CONCRETE

Palkannan, S, Thirumurugan, A, Ramesh, K

Abstract :

 The use of two or more types of fibers in a suitable combination may potentially improve the overall properties of concrete and also result in performance concrete. The combining of fibers, often called hyidization, is investigated in this paper for a M25 grade concrete. Control and two–fiber hyid composites were cast using different fiber proportions of steel and coconut coir. Compressive test, split tensile strength and flexural strength were performed and results were extensively analyzed to associate with above fiber combinations. Based on experimental studies, the paper identifies fiber combinations that demonstrate maximum compressive, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete
