Abstract
In the present era, a number of researchers are using either industrial or agricultural priceless products as a basic source of raw materials for the construction industry. These waste products are economical and helpful in producing a sustainable environment and reducing environmental pollution, which is called handling waste products. However, this research work was conducted on concrete containing 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1% of jute fiber as reinforcement material and 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of wheat straw ash (WSA) as replacement for fine aggregates. Moreover, the separate and combined effect of jute fiber and WSA as a replacement for sand ingredient in concrete is to determine the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. In this research, a number of concrete samples were prepared with 1 : 1.5 : 3 mix proportion at 0.54 water-cement ratio and cured at 28 days. The experimental outcomes displayed that the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths improved by 32.88 MPa, 3.80 MPa, and 5.30 MPa at 0.50% of jute fiber along with 30% of WSA at 28 days consistently. Similarly, the modulus of elasticity was developed while the dosages of jute fiber and WSA increased together in concrete. Moreover, the permeability and workability of concrete were reduced while utilized jute fiber and WSA increased together in concrete.
Highlights
Concrete is the main building material substantially used all over the world
The optimum slump was noted as 58 mm at 0% of jute fiber and 0% of wheat straw ash (WSA), and the lowest slump is measured as 12 mm at 1% of jute fiber and 40% of WSA as fine aggregate replacement. is result shows that the slump is reduced while the extent of jute fiber and WSA increases in concrete
(ii) e compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength are improved by 31.5 MPa, 3.60 MPa, and 5 MPa, which is 10.14%, 12.50%, and 11.11% at 0.50% of jute fiber, higher that that in plain concrete, and the lowest compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths are estimated as 28 MPa, 3.10 MPa, and 4.30 MPa, that is, 2.1%, 3.1%, and 4.44%, at 1% of jute fiber as the reinforcement ingredient, lower than in control mix at 28 days, respectively
Summary
Concrete is the main building material substantially used all over the world. Since its creation in the Roman era, its use in various industries has grown. is phenomenon is primarily explained by its superiority over other types of building materials in terms of compressive strength, durability, and efficiency [1]. The fiber is used in concrete as a reinforcement material from the Biblical era [4], and fibers are categorized into steel, glass, synthetic, carbon, and natural fibers, which have been incorporated into concrete to increase the tensile strength of concrete [5]. Steel fibers are susceptible to corrosion, which limits their use To solve this problem, it is generally concluded that synthetic fibers are the alternative. Natural fiber has advantages in terms of the environment, economy, and energy and resource conservation [9] It can reduce the use of concrete components (e.g., aggregates and cement) and, can contribute to sustainability
