 INTRODUCTION

◦This project is all about making concrete better by using things that would otherwise be thrown away.

◦We're teaming up to study how natural waste fibre, like leftovers from plants, plastic waste fibre from recycled plastic,

and steel waste fibre from industry leftovers, can improve concrete.

◦Traditional concrete isn't great for the environment, so we're trying to make it stronger and more eco-friendly.

◦We'll look at how each type of fibre , like the natural, plastic, and steel ones, can help the concrete be tougher and last

longer.

◦It's like a teamwork project to create a kind of concrete that's not just strong but also good for the planet.
 HISTORY OF TOPIC
◦Regular use of concrete for construction. May create some environmental issues,
◦So the construction industry started different ways to make building materials more eco-friendly, make it stronger and
greener
The history of using natural waste fibres traces back to ancient times when people mixed straw and other plant fibres with
mud to create stronger structures. Fast forward to modern times, and scientists began exploring ways to use agricultural
waste fibres in concrete for enhanced strength and sustainability.
Plastic waste became a concern in the mid-20 th century, prompting researchers to find creative solutions. Recycling plastic
waste into fibres for concrete became a revolutionary concept, addressing both the plastic pollution problem and
improving concrete properties.
Steel waste fibres entered the scene as a by product of industrial processes. People realized that these steel fibres, when
added to concrete, could significantly enhance its toughness and durability. This marked a pivotal moment in the
evolution of modified concrete.
 Scope

The comperative study of modified concrete incorporating natural waste fibre, plastic waste fibre, and steel
waste fibre explores an innovative approach to enhance concrete properties.
The scope of this project is to investigate the synergistic effects of these fibres on concrete's strength,
durability, and sustainability. Natural waste fibres, derived from sources contribute to the concrete's eco-
friendliness.
Plastic waste fibres enhance ductility and reduce environmental impact by recycling plastic. Steel waste
fibres, obtained from industrial processes, aim to improve concrete's structural performance. This study will
evaluate the optimal combination of these fibres, considering factors such as fibre content, aspect ratio, and
compatibility.
The project's significance lies in creating a more resilient and environmentally conscious construction
material. Additionally, it aligns with the global push towards sustainable practices by repurposing waste
materials.
The outcomes may lead to the development of a modified concrete formula that balances strength, durability,
and environmental responsibility, making it a valuable contribution to the construction industry.
 LITERATURE REVIEW
1) Zoran J. Grdic et al. (2012): The authors concluded that: Abrasive resistance of concrete is reduced with the
increase of water/cement ratio from 0.5 to 0.7 which is reflected in the increase the addition of fibers increases tensile
strength across the whole range of W/C factors from 0.5 to 0.7 in respect to the benchmark concrete.
The concretes with extreme compressive and tensile strength (at bending) have higher abrasive resistance, so these
limits may serve as indicators of the abrasive-erosive resistance of concrete. The polypropylene fibrillated fibers
verified better in respect to the monofilament fibers in terms of abrasive- erosive resistance of concrete
2) S.Sharmila et al. (2013): The authors indicated that: The effect of adding hybrid fibers influence the behavior of
beams by increasing the ductility characteristics by 80% and energy absorption characteristics by more than 160%.
Instead of adding single fiber, the combination of different types of fibers (Hybrid fibers) increases the energy absorption
capacity substantially.
3)Gurunathan k et al. (2014): The authors conversed that the tallying of polypropylene fibers, reckons fibers, fly ash
and silica fume in different concrete mixes marginally improve the compressive strength at 28 days. The least percentage
of fly ash and silica fume were added int concrete so that the presentation of the concrete increases.
There is an increase from 3% to 9% in split tensile strength for all fiber mixes when equated with that of control mix.
Then from the test results the authors determined that the volume fraction of hybrid fiber concrete.
4)Foti (2013): Investigate use of different forms of reinforcements with pet bottle viz circular fibers, half bottles and
rectangular strips. The tests resulted in high concrete PET adherence. Further, more ductile behavior was observed when
subjected to bending load.

5)Ramadevi and Manju (2012): Examined the impact of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 6% replacement of fine aggregates with
ground pet fibers. Pet bottles were first shredded into flakes and subsequently ground.

Optimal compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength was recorded on 2% replacement.

6)Safinia and Alkalbani (2016): Compared the compressive strength of concrete blocks with empty 500ml PET bottles
placed in between to that of hollow concrete blocks procured from a local market.

Concrete specimen with bottles resulted in an increase of 57% as compared to hollow concrete block from market.

7)Asha and Resmi (2015): Checked strength of concrete by replacing cement in dry mix by 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% plastic
fibers. Straight and crimped fibers were used in different specimens.

Both types of fibers gave optimal results at 1% fiber. For straight fibers compressive and tensile strength increased by 16%
and 37% respectively on the other hand, for crimped fibers there was increase of 18% and 42% in compressive and split
tensile strength.

 CONCLUSION’s

Following are the conclusion on basis of research paper studied .

1)Natural fibres boost strength, plastic fibres add flexibility, and steel fibres enhance toughness in concrete.

2) Addition of natural waste ,plastic waste etc makes durable and eco-friendly modified concrete.

3)Also it makes stronger, greener future for the building industry.

4) Reinforcing recycle waste fibre increases tensile strength which may led to reduces cracks development and cavity formation i.e.

decreases the deterioration of Concrete.

5) Its reduces risk of environmental waste managements which create environmental issues.

This comparative approach marks a step forward in smart and sustainable construction practices.
