Optimizing Durability and Strength of Eco-Friendly SCC Using Industrial and Plastic Waste

Abstract

This Project deals with an experimental investigation on the influence of Flyash and recycled PET fibers on strength parameters of the M30 grade concrete mix which are perform on 1.5% optimum PET fiber and partial replacement of Flyash with various percentages are 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight of concrete are casting. The main reason of adding Flyash, Superplasticizer, Viscosity Modifying Agent and PET fiber is to improve the strength of concrete, reducing of voids in concrete, it will give a good workability mix and the PET fiber is used for reducing the crack growth and increases the impact strength of the concrete and to improve its energy absorption and apparent ductility and VMA ensures the stability by preventing segregation and bleeding. The tests will be conducting to find out the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength at the age of 7 days and 28 days, also conducting the durability tests are Acid attack test, Alkaline attack test, Sulphate attack, Chloride attack test and Carbonation attack Test. Finally, the strength and durability performance of the Flyash on self-compacting fiber reinforced concrete increases compared to the normal of the concrete.
