SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF STEEL FIBERS AND MINERAL ADMIXTURES ON CORROSION CONTROL IN REINFORCED CONCRETE

Abstract

In recent days the usage of concrete has been increased all over the world. Hence it is important to study the mechanical properties of concrete on addition of mineral admixtures. Our main motive is to know the compression behavior of concrete when different types of mineral admixtures added to the concrete. The mineral admixture we are using in this study are steel fibers. In this study we are casting 6 cubes and 6 cylinders out of which 2 each for 7, 14, 28 days. The percentage addition by weight of concrete for mineral admixtures used are 2% and 4%. We are going to compare the results of compression strength and split tensile strength of concrete with normal concrete when admixtures are added to the concrete with different percentages. The experimental study on normal strength concrete grade for 2% and 4% cube were also prepared respectively
