Workability Characteristic Properties of Concrete with Varying Percentages of Steel Fibre

Dr. Deepa A Sinha

Abstract :

Civil infrastructure around the world is in a state of utter disrepair and significant effort are needed on the part of all stake holders to render are failing infrastructure back to a serviceable and safe state. fie reinforced concrete is an ideal material for controlling shrinkage, cracking, abat micro cracks from widening and provide concrete with high ductility but by adding fies the workability of concrete reduces and this seams a handicap for onsite application. In this work the workability characteristics of concrete with varying percentages of fies is found. 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. Workability of concrete is seriously affected as the percentage of steel fies in it increases.
