| Popis: | This study looks into the impact of the adding of polypropylene(pp) and Hooked-end steel (HES) fibre on the mechanical characteristics of M-sand concrete (MSC). HES fibres with a 30-mm length were used at 1% to the weight of the cement for every mix and Polypropylene(pp) fibers with length 12-mm were used at the content of 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75% and 1%. All the mixes were produced with the mixing of HES and pp fibers. All the mixes with fiber-reinforced concretes (FRC) contained 60% M-sand as fine aggregate (FA) replacement. For increment of workability, the super plasticizer is also added. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength of the concrete mixes was examined for M30 Concrete. Results of this work indicated that the adding of the M-sand improves compression characteristics of plain concrete mix. The outcomes also show that the mechanical characteristics of MSC were amplified by the addition of steel (HES) and polypropylene (pp) fibers at each weight fraction taken into account in this investigation. Additionally, it was found that adding 1% steel fiber considerably increased the concrete’s split tensile test values and also flexural test values. The blend with the highest performance out of all the varied steel and polypropylene(pp) fibre combinations tested had 1% HES and 0.5% pp fiber. Finally, the findings demonstrated that adding fibres to concrete led to reduction in compressive strength and increase in the value of split tensile strength and also flexural strength. |
