A Comparative Study of the Use of Concrete Mix Using Jute Fibers

Abstract

Abstract: The character of fiber reinforced concrete can be changed by the variation of certain factors. these factors are the geometric configuration of fibers, type and. quantity of fibers, , dispersal, direction, and concentration of the fibres Portland cement concrete is assumed to be a relatively. Brittle material .When non-reinforced concrete is exposed to tensile stresses. This is likely to fracture and fail. Since the start of the nineteenth century, studies were conducted. to reinforce concrete by using fibres. After the reinforcement of concrete by fibers, it becomes a composite group in which the fibres endures the tensile stresses. When concrete is reinforced by. using fiber in the mixture, it further increases the tensile strength of the composite system. Research has revealed that. The strength of concrete may be improved greatly by the adding of fibers Keywords: Fiber, jute fibres, NDT Mix design, design mix
