  • Abstract:
  • The present work deals with the results of experimental investigations on carbon fiber reinforced GGBS concrete. Effect of these fibers on various strengths of concrete are studied. Fiber content varied from 0.5 to 1.5% at an interval of 0.5 by weight of cement. Various strengths considered for investigation are compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength. Cube of size 150 mm for compressive strength, beam of 100mmx100mmx500mm for flexural strength and cylinder of 150mm diameter and 300mm height for split tensile strength were casted. All the specimens were water cured for 7 and 28 days and tested subsequently. The workability is measured with the slump cone test. A comparison of results of carbon fiber reinforced GGBS concrete with that of normal concrete showed the significant improvements in the results of compressive strengths.
