To Study the Effect of Polypropylene Fiber, Fly Ash and Rice Husk on Concrete Properties

Abstract

India is now one of the world's developing nations. Concrete with exceptional strength and performance will be needed in the future to build projects. Concrete that has fibrous material added to it to strengthen its structural integrity is known as fibre concrete. With different concrete fibre materials, geometries, distributions, orientations, and densities, fibre concrete takes on different characteristics. One synthetic fibre that is lightweight is polypropylene. It gives the concrete construction strength and prevents cracks from forming. In this project, we're adding various percentages of polypropylene fibres, such 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%, and we're replacing the cement with 10% each of fly ash and rice husk. Specimens underwent tests for flexural resistance, split tensile strength, compressive strength, and workability.
