Abstract
Most widely recognized material in the present world is Concrete due its durability, and strength aspects. Hence by using different additives like Glass fibre and woven biaxial Geogrid the compressive strength test is carried out for M30 and M40 grade of concrete to improve the performance of concrete. The main aim of the present study is to analyze the compressive strength of concrete, when concrete is mixed with glass fiber and Geogrid, to meet the demands of the modern construction. The addition of Glass fibre into concrete increases the compressive strength of concrete than Geogrid concrete. Tests are conducted by using glass fibre and Geogrid. For 1 m3 of concrete 612grams of glass fibre for M30 grade of concrete and for M40 grade of concrete 697 grams of glass fibre for 1m3 of concrete are used. Geogrids are placed at 2 layers (50mm interval each) in a 150*150mm cube in both M30 and M40 grade of concrete.
Highlights
In modern days for construction of any structure concrete is used as a main construction material in addition to fine and coarse aggregates, to make the structure more durable and stable.in this study an effort made to study the compressive strength characteristics of concrete along with the Glass fibre and woven biaxial geogrid
Compressive strength test was performed according to IS 516: 1959.Cubes of specimen of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm were prepared for each mix
In this figure with the addition of Geogrid fibre reinforced concrete (GFC) the control specimen there is no much increase in the compressive strength, as GFC is good in tension
Summary
In modern days for construction of any structure concrete is used as a main construction material in addition to fine and coarse aggregates, to make the structure more durable and stable.in this study an effort made to study the compressive strength characteristics of concrete along with the Glass fibre and woven biaxial geogrid. Geogrids are commonly made of polymer materials, such as polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene or polypropylene. They may be woven or knitted from yarns, heat-welded from strips of material, or produced by punching a regular pattern of holes in sheets of material, Http://www.ijetmr.com©International Journal of Engineering Technologies and Management Research [120]. An effort is made to compare the compressive strength characteristics of these material when compared with normal concrete
