Title

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE USING ADMIXTURES

Abstract

To enhance the physical and mechanical properties of concrete, many researches and advancements were carried out. Fibre reinforced concrete is one among those developments that offers an appropriate, practical and economical method for overcoming micro cracks and similar type of shortcomings. Some measures must be adopted to overcome these shortcomings as concrete is weak in tension. Human hair is generally strong in tension, hence it can be used as a fibre reinforced material. Human hair fibre is an uncommon non-degradable matter available in abundance and at minimal cost. It also creates environmental problems. Experiments were conducted on concrete cylinders of standard sizes with addition of various percentages of human hair fibre i.e., 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% by weight of cement and results were compared with those of plain cement concrete of M60 grade. For each percentage of human hair added in concrete, 9 cylinders were tested for their respective mechanical properties at curing periods of 3 days, 7 days and 28 days. The change in mechanical properties of concrete is determined and analysed. The results obtained show us that the optimum content of human hair fibre to be added to M60 grade of concrete is 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% weight of cement fine and coarse aggregate together and consequently there has been a significant increase in mechanical properties of concrete. Also addition of human fibres enhances the binding properties, micro cracking control, imparts ductility and also increases spalling resistance. The 100% of concrete mix to the natural coarse aggregate in concrete with 150 mm dia*300 mm height were casted according to the design mix M60. Split tensile strength of cylindrical specimens at 3, 7, 28 days was tested and recorded.
