Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement and water. Generally Concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension. The aggregate is generally coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. The cement, commonly Portland cement, and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, serve as a binder for the aggregate. Various chemical admixtures are also added to achieve varied properties. Water is then mixed with this dry composite which enables it to be shaped (typically poured) and then solidified and hardened into rock-hard strength through a chemical process known as hydration. The water reacts with the cement which bonds the other components together, eventually creating a robust stone-like material. Carbon reinforced concrete is a composite material consisting of two high-performance materials. The innovative combination of carbon fibre fabrics or bars with fine-grained concrete simultaneously enables significantly more varied shapes and a high load-bearing capacity. Due to the corrosion resistance of the fabrics and rebars, the concrete cover and thus the use of resources can be reduced to a minimum. Carbon reinforced concrete can be used for sustainable, resource-saving, less material-intensive and lighter construction. A cement concrete of M30 grade is chosen as it is usable in most of the constructions. The mix design for the concrete will be designed as per IS 10262 code. The behaviour of M30 grade carbon fibre concrete is studied with respect to compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. The effect of temperature on these parameters is also studied.
