Abstract
Concrete is a composite material made of cement, coarse and fine aggregate and water. Recently High Strength Concrete (HSC) is being widely used in many applications. Concrete having compressive strength more than 40MPa is termed as HSC. It can be achieved by increasing the cement content and reducing water content by the addition of super plasticizers. HSC are brittle in nature and they are ready for plastic shrinkage in earlier stage. In order to reduce the brittleness and shrinkage effect fibres are used in HSC.Concrete cube (150mm × 150mm × 150mm) and cylindrical (100mm diameter and 200mm length) specimens were cast and experimental study was carried out for different concrete mixes having compressive strength of 40MPa.In this study two different combination of 2%, 4% of polypropylene fibre, 2%, 4% steel fibre and combination of both fibres of 2%, 4% have been used. The compressive strength and split tensile strength properties of concrete were specimens tested at normal condition. The result shows that the maximum compressive strength and split tensile strength of HSC specimen is increased by addition of polypropylene fibre and steel fibre.
