Abstract
This experimental work is aimed at determining the influence of aluminium waste fiber on plain cement concrete. To achieve this aim, compressive strength test has been conducted. The compressive strength test has been conducted in Compression machine. The plain cement concrete with the ratio 1:1.5:3 at 0.55 water cement ratio has been utilized in this study. Aluminium waste has been used as additional material in concrete. The weight of aluminium has been taken from 0.5%, 1.5% and 1.5% by weight of cement of varying aspect ratios that are 2.5 (length=0.5 inch, width=5mm), 5 (length=1inch, width=5mm) and 7.5 (1.5 inch, 0.5mm). A total number of ten batches, each batch contained six cubes and were casted for evaluation of compressive strength test. The curing ages selected for this particular study have been 7 and 28 days. It has been observed in this study that aluminium waste has resulted into a decrease in compressive strength of concrete as compared to normal concrete. This study has made application of solid waste as addition material in concrete. Therefore, this study will be helpful to reduce environmental pollution.
