 CONCLUSIONS
 INTRODUCTION

• Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is concrete containing fibrous material which increases its

structural integrity

• It contains short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented

• Fibers include steel fibers, glass fibers , synthetic fibers and natural fibers

• Control micro crack in concrete.

5 HOOKED END STEEL Hooked end steel fibres commercially called as Dramix
FIBRE steel fibres manufactured by Bekaert Corporation were
used which had a length of 30 mm and a diameter of 0.55
mm resulting in an aspect ratio of about55 and conforms to
American standard ASTM A820 and Belgium standard
1857.
The tensile strength of fibre is in the range of 1100
N/mm2
6 CORRUGATED STEEL Corrugated steel fibers from Sterols & Co were used
FIBRE which had a length of 25 mm and a diameter of 0.45 mm
resulting in an aspect ratio of about55 and conforms to
American standard ASTM A820
.The tensile strength of fiber is in the range of 1200
N/mm2

CASTING OF SPECIMENS

 The materials were weighed accurately using a digital

weighing machine and mixed thoroughly for three
minutes

 Steel fibers were mechanically sprinkled inside the FIG. CASTING OF CUBES

• STEEL MOULDS

1. For making steel moulds the panel sizes adopted were

500×500×50mm and500×500×100mm.

• CURING OF SPECIMENS

• The test specimens were stored in place free from

vibration and kept at a temperature of 27˚±2˚C for 24
hours

 COMPARISION

• FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE • NORMAL REINFORCED CONCRETE

• High Durability • Lower Durability.

• Protect steel from Corrosion • Steel potential to corrosion
• Lighter materials • Heavier material
• More expensive • Economical
• With the same volume, the strength is greater • With the same volume, the strength is less
• Less workability • High workability as compared to FRC.

14
 CONCLUSIONS

 From the above experiment compressive strength for fibre reinforced concrete is seen to be
improved.
 It can be clearly seen that strength at 28 days for CSFRC 1% is better than other cases hence
recommended
 Also the strength at 28 days for HSFRC 1% is better than other cases hence recommended.
HSFRC seen to given better strength at 3rd day and 7th day as well.
