An Experimental Investigation On Flexural Behaviour Of Functionally Graded Concrete

Abstract

In recent days, everyone used superplasticizers to enhance the concrete's tensile strength and workability. In recent days, everyone used superplasticizers to boost the concrete strength and workability. By substituting superplasticizers, we have used a new material called steel fiber increasing the strength, workability, compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete. In this project, we have used a method called Biomimetics. Biomimicry encompasses imitating the form, characteristics, processes, principles, and methods of nature. This essay examines current biomimetic-inspired civil engineering systems and buildings. One of the key components of biomimetic bridges is their design, which is inspired by the bamboo tree's system for transporting loads. Biomimetics is one of the interesting techniques that have been widely used in various aspects of life due its beautiful structure with strong layers. The material composition of a structural element can be strategically adjusted based on specific performance requirements in different regions. This approach has the potential to greatly decrease the amount of cement needed. The results shows that functionally graded performs well than conventional concrete.
