This experimental study presents the mechanical properties of concrete using lathe steel fiber. The utilization of such fibers in concrete work as reinforcing material could be used for the infrastructural development, ultimately solving the problem of waste and its impact on the environment. The experimental tests were conducted using different percentages of fibers (i.e., 0%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) by total Concrete volume. Compressive and tensile strengths were determined and compared with conventional plain concrete. Twenty-four cubic and 24-cylinder specimens were prepared and cured for 28 days. The addition of lathe steel fibers increased compressive strength up to 1.5%, whereas further addition of fibers reduced the overall compressive strength. The optimum compressive strength was obtained at 1.5% of lathe steel fiber addition and is 27.4 MPa, 14.71% higher than the control specimens. The maximum tensile strength was also observed up to 1.5% steel fiber addition which is 3.30 MPa and is 4.75% more than the results of conventional concrete. The study showed that the compressive and tensile strengths have significantly improved with the increase in lathe steel fiber. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
