Abstract:

Concrete is a major building material which is been used in construction industry throughout the world. It is an extremely versatile material and can be used for all types of structures. As our aim is to develop concrete which does not only concern on the strength of concrete, it also having many other aspects to be satisfied like less porous, capillary absorption, durability. So for this we need to go for the addition of pozzolanic materials along with superplasticizer in a fiber reinforced concrete. The materials like fly ash , ground granulated blast furnace slag and silica fume is used for the partial replacement of cement. Thus concrete becomes inexpensive and eco-friendly. A through literature review was conducted to study and investigate the properties of these materials. Recron fiber is used in concrete for the production of fiber reinforced Concrete. So we are going to use Recron fiber in different percentage to the weight of concrete and study the 7 days and 28 days compressive strength to find the optimum percentage of fiber for getting maximum strength with maintaining the water cement ratio . Then partially replace cement with various pozzolanos with different percentages for fixing constant optimum fiber percentage cubes, cylinders and beams were casted and tested to analyze the change in compressive, split tensile and flexural strength.
