Strength of concrete chopped Glass Fibers Tiles and effect of Glass Fiber

Abstract

Abstract: In this project we use the M-20 grade concrete designed as per IS 10262. finding the effects of the flexural strength, tensile strength and also the compressive strength. The aggregates which is used in this design was 20mm in size. To study of compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength we cast the 6 cubes, 6 prism and 6 cylinders and tested it after the application of GFRC in the form of cement concrete tiles and in this process no special techniques was used for casting of tiles. The tiles thickness was 20mm and aggregate maximum size was 8mm. The water cement ratio was consistent and the some admixture content was varied from 8-1.5% to maintain slump in between 50mm-100mm. The mix proportion was 1:1.78:2.66. the short fibers size were 30mm and the glass fibers were alkali resistant. We carried out the effect of this short fiber on the compressive strength and also on water absorption. We cast six full size tiles 400mm*400mm*20mm and tested and result recorded.
