AN INVESTIGATION ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF TEXTILE REINFORCED CONCRETE

Structural Engineering

In civil engineering, concrete is an important construction material which is used in all over the world. This building material inherently brittle in nature and have some of the dramatic demerits such as poor deformability and vulnerable crack resisting properties. Basically hybrid concrete containing, two or more different types of fibres are rationally combined to produce a composite that derives benefits from each of the individual fibres and exhibits a synergistic response in concrete and also it increases the structural integrity of concrete. The main objective of this investigational work is to study the characteristics of hybrid textile fiber reinforced concrete. The influence of type of fibers and their content on the characteristics of hybrid textile fiber reinforced concrete having different combinations of textile fibers are studied. The workability characteristics are study through slump, compaction factor and Vee-Bee degree. To study the strength characteristics such as compressive strength, Split tensile strength, flexural strength. The specimens are incorporated with (0.5%+0.5%) volume fractions of (Steel fiber + Polypropylene fiber), (Steel fiber + Polyester fiber) and (Steel fiber + Nylon fiber). Also conduct the rapid chloride permeability test on M30 grade of concrete at 28 days cured concrete.
