  • Abstract:
  • The experiment work carried out by silica fume as a supplementary material for cement and evaluates cement for M20, M25 and M30 grades of concrete. We are adding 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, by weight of cement in concrete and also added glass fiber. At 1% addition of glass fiber, 10% silica fume with water cement ratio 0.55,0.5 and 0.45 the compressive strength and at 1% glass fibers at 10% silica fume tensile strength gives best result in concrete. Silica fume is also known as the micro silica contributes to workability and strength by creating dense packing and pore filter of cement paste. Whereas glass fibers is a material consisting numerous extremely small fibers of glass which reacts insulation to reinforced concrete and gives tremendous tensile and compressive strength. The experimental work carried out by silica fume as a supplementary material for cement and evaluates cement for M20, M25 & M30 grades of concrete. We are adding 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% of silica fume by weight of cement and adding 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% of glass fibers by the weight of concrete.
