III. MAJOR FINDINGS FROM CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEWS ON BACTERIAL
CONARETE
After completion of critical literature review, Following are the various major findings from
critical literature reviews as follows:
1. For addition of Rice Husk Ash in cement increases its normal consistency and setting times also in
brick does not affect its shape and size. [1, 10]
2. Rice Husk Ash in concretes results in improved compressive strength and flexural strength of
Concrete with rice husk ash content of 10% for different grades. [3, 9]
3. For all the cement replacement levels of Rice husk ash; there is gradual increase in compressive
strength from 3 days to 7 days. There is significant increase in compressive strength from 7 days to
28 days followed by gradual increase from 28 days to 56 days. [2, 4, 5 ,6, 11]
4. For low content of steel fibers effectively enhances the load-carrying capacity of slabs on ground
and makes the structural response more ductile; volume fraction of steel fibers higher than 0.38%
slightly improve the ultimate load but remarkably enhance the slab ductility. [13]
5. For steel fibers in Geopolymer concrete composites enhanced its mechanical properties.
Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of steel fiber reinforced
Geopolymer concrete composites increases with respect to the increase in the percentage volume
fraction from 0.25 to 0.75. Workability of steel fibre reinforced concrete gets reduced as the
percentage of steel fibres increases. [16, 17, 18, 21]
6. For compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are on higher side for 3% fibres
as compared to that produced from 0%, 1% and 2% fibres. [19]
7. Rice Husk Ash at 25% decreases the compressive strength and inclusion of polypropylene fibres into
concrete mixes increases the compressive strength at 0.5% fibres content as compared to the control
mix. [27, 28, 29]
IV. CONCLUSION
From the previous research paper study and above critical literature reviews following
conclusions can be made…..
1. Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are on higher side for 3% fibres as
compared to that produced from 0%, 1% and 2% fibres .
2. Rice Husk Ash at 25% decreases the compressive strength and inclusion of polypropylene fibres into
concrete mixes increases the compressive strength at 0.5% fibres content as compared to the control
mix.
3. Rice Husk Ash in concretes results in improved compressive strength and flexural strength of
Concrete with rice husk ash content of 10% for different grades.
4. Overall performance of concrete made with use of Rice Husk Ash and Steel Fibre was enhanced and
it will lead to .better construction practices in near future.
