Abstract

This project provides a summary of “Mechanical Properties of High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete” using fibre material. Concrete is a mixture of Cement, Fine aggregate, Coarse aggregate and Water. Fibre reinforced concrete is concrete containing Fibre material which increases its structural integrity. It contains sort discrete fibres that are uniformly distributes and randomly oriented. Fibre includes steel fibre glassy fibres, synthetic fibres and natural fibres. Within these different fibres that character of fibre reinforced concrete changes with varying concretes, fibres materials, geometries, distribution, orientation and densities. Fibres of various origins are in increasing demand as they improve the tensile resistance and ductile of plain concrete and it's reducing cracking it leads to improved durability of reinforced concrete structures. In the present investigation a mechanical properties has been carried out a determine the compressive strength of concrete cubes made using fibres. High performance M60 was designed using Portland cement locally available fine and coarse aggregate. The hooked end steel fibres are used. Using volume fraction 0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.0%, 1.25%, 1.50% and silica fumes. The fibre reinforced concrete cube will be casted and finally testing the cube and find out the compressive strength of cubes.
