Abstract

This project provides a summary of “Investigation on Hybrid Concrete Using Steel and Polypropylene Fibre”. The effect of hybrid fibres on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present investigation. Steel fibres of 1% and polypropylene fibres 0.035% were added together to form a hybrid fibre reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were determined. Hybridization refers to combination of different types of fibres. The purpose of combining the fibres is to improve the multiple properties of concrete mixture. The behavioural efficiency of this composite material is far superior to that of plain and mono fibre reinforced concrete. The addition of fibre is helpful to improve the fracture properties of concrete. The hybrid fibres are comprehensively being used in rigid pavements, airfield pavements, flexible pavements, earthquake-resistant etc. The Hybrid fibre reinforced concrete cubes, cylinders and beams will be casted and finally test and find out the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete specimens.
