Abstract:
The aggregates both fine and coarse are bonded together by the cement and mixed with water to form concrete. The concrete has become so popular and indispensable because of its inherent in nature brought a revolution in applications of concrete. Concrete has unlimited opportunities for innovative applications, design and construction techniques. Its great versality and relative economy in filling wide range of needs has made it very competitive building material. In this present investigation workability, strength properties of concrete with Recron 3s fiber in proportions of 0%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% is studied for M25 and M40 grade concrete cubes, cylinders and prisms.Recron3s Fiber Reinforcement Systems can provide a solution to Recron 3s fibers are engineered micro fibers with a unique "triangular" cross-section, used in secondary reinforcement of concrete. It complements structural steel in enhancing concrete's resistance to shrinkage cracking and improves mechanical properties such as flexural/split tensile and transverse strengths of concrete along with the desired improvement in abrasion and impact strengths. The Recron Polyester fibers and Polypropylene fibers. The present investigation is to study the workability parameters of M25 and M40 grades of concrete using slump cone test, Compaction factor test, and Vee-bee time test. For strength parameters, each grade of concrete for each proportion, cubes, cylinders, prisms were casted for 7days, 28days, 56days and 91 days strength.
