Effect on strength and durability of synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete with use of fly ash and silica fume

Civil Engineering

With the growing interest in the use of synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete in the construction industry, attempts to clarify its performance have become important. The characteristics of various synthetic fibers and the behavior of concrete reinforced with each of these fibers are discussed here. The current research concerns about the effect of strength and durability of synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete with use of fly ash and silica fume based which are considered to be promising for the development of cementious composite material. In this research various proportions of fly ash & silica fume would be used in mass basis to study effect on it with the used of synthetic fiber. And also Synthetic Fiber such as Recron 3s Polyester & Polypropylene in different proportion are used to determine the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength & durability.
