Characteristic Properties of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete with Varying Percentages of Fibre

Dr Deepa A Sinha

Abstract :

In this work the strength characteristics of steel fie reinforced concrete with varying percentages of fies is found and hence arrived at optimum percentage of steel fies. M30 grade concrete as per IS: 10262–2009 was designed which yielded a proportion of 1:1.86: 2.41 with a w/c ratio of 0.45. The steel fies were added at the rate of 0.5%, 0.75%, 1.0%, 1.25%, 1.50%, 1.75%, and 2.0% by volume fraction. Based on the compressive strength and tensile strength it is concluded that the optimum percentage of steel fie to be added in the concrete mix is 1% by volume fraction.
