  • Abstract:
  • The main objective of this project is to analyse the behaviour of M25 grade of concrete with mix design 1:1:2 and with water-cement ratio 0.45. Here cement was partially replaced by 10%,20%,30% of GGBS. 1% of bamboo fiber is added to the whole mass of concrete. Aspect ratio of bamboo fiber is 30. Due to addition of bamboo fiber and GGBS the compressive strength, split-tensile strength and flexural strength was increased due to pozzolanic action of GGBS and strong bond formation of bamboo fiber. The maximum strength was achieved at 30% of GGBS and 1% of steel fiber. Due to addition of bamboo fiber and GGBS the work ability results were good. The usage of GGBS and bamboo fiber in concrete is used to develop the concept of green concrete. Bamboo fiber and GGBS based concrete is environmentally safe and economical. Work-ability tests, compressive strength test, split tensile strength test, flexural strength test is performed and results are obtained to know the strength properties of the concrete after replacing 10,20,30 percentages of GGBS with cement and addition of 1% of bamboo fiber to whole mass of concrete.
