Abstract
This paper presents experimental results on strength and deformation behaviour of concrete reinforced with steel fibre from recycled tyre. Various concrete mixes were made where steel fibres were used at volume fractions ranging from 0 to 2 % by volume of concrete mix. Test specimens comprising of cube, cylinder and prism were prepared and tested for strength after 28 days of curing in water. It has been found that the compressive strength of concrete was slightly increased by the incorporation of recycled steel fibre. However, the tensile and flexural strength of concrete was remarkably improved with the increase of fibre content. Laboratory investigation further revealed that the addition of steel fibre had no influence on drying shrinkage; the creep of concrete, however, was found to be lower in concrete with fibre reinforcement than that in the control specimen.
