Experimental Study on Concrete using Aramid Fiber

Abstract

Abstract: Concrete is the most widely used building material. It has desirable engineering properties, that can be molded into any shape and more importantly is produced with cost effective material. In the engineering industry the improvement of existing materials allows for technological advancement and the construction of more reliable structure without over usage of resources. The sustainable development is the very important one which is so much needed nowadays. The solid waste management is the great challenge in this period. So, the resources have to be used without causing any harm to the environment. The industrial by products are widely used as the replacement in the concrete. we have planned to use the Aramid Fiber has it has various advantages when they are used in the concrete. In this project, we decided to put M25 design mix, so that we can use it in small construction also. The Aramid Fiber is added 0.02%, 0.03%, and 0.04% in the concrete. Keywords: Aramid fibers, Increases compressive strength, flexural strength & durability
