  • Abstract:
  • The workability of concrete significantly reduced as the fibre dosage rate increases. This was assessed through standard slump test. Results of compressive strength test indicated that the use of fibre in concrete increase the strength and help in early strength gain. In flexural and split tensile test showed specimens with fibres that drastic increase in strength from specimens without fibres. The usage of fibres were fully utilized in split tensile test as the fibres don't allow splitting of concrete specimens after the first crack. Flexure test results showed us that the concrete with fibres didn't have brittle failure after first crack and the concrete could take further load after first crack indicating increase in ductility of concrete. As to create a cost efficient fibre reinforced structure, these changes on fibres are vital to the design and construction. However, further investigations are recommended and could be carried out to understand more mechanical properties of fibre reinforced concrete.
