Comparative Study of Concrete by Using Steel Fibre and Glass Fibre

This document presents a comparative study of concrete using steel fibre and glass fibre conducted by civil engineering students at L.J. Institute of Engineering & Technology. It introduces the use of fibres to overcome concrete's low tensile strength and cracking, describes different fibre types including steel and glass, and outlines the mix proportions, casting process, and applications of fibre reinforced concrete using steel and glass fibres at replacement quantities of 0.5% to 2% by weight of cement.

INTRODUCTION

 We know that concrete is one of the most widely used


construction material.
 Concrete is a brittle material which has low tensile strength &
little resistance to cracking.
 These properties which limits the application of concrete can
be overcome by the inclusion of smaller quantity of fibre.
 Fibre reinforced concrete is a concrete containing fibrous
material which increases its structural integrity.
 Fibres are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented in the
concrete.
 Steel fibres have high tensile & compressive strength and more
durable.
 Glass fibres can control & prevent cracking and corrosion in
concrete.
FIBRE
 Fibre is a natural or synthetic substance that is significantly
longer than it’s wide.
 Fibre having aspect ratio between 30 to 150 generally used as
a fibre reinforced concrete.
WHY FIBRE ?

 Control cracking due to plastic and drying shrinkage.


 Reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce
bleeding.
 Produce greater impact, abrasion and shatter resistance in
concrete.
 Increase the structural integrity.
 Higher tensile and flexural strength.
 Improve durability.
 Energy absorption capacity.
 Reduce the quantity of rebars without loss of strength.
