-The usefulness of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in various civil engineering applications is indisputable. Fiber reinforced concrete has so far been successfully used in slabs on grade, shortcrete, architectural panels, precast products, offshore structures, structures in seismic regions, thin and thick repairs, crash barriers, footings, hydraulic structures and many other applications. This report presents a brief state-of-the-art report on durability studies of polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced concrete. Civil infrastructure around the world the problem is at the apparent lack of durability in our construction materials, inability on part of the owners to provide timely maintenance, absence of advanced condition assessment tools and lack of long-lasting, cost effective repair materials and technologies. This report will present data to support the argument that polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced concrete is an ideal material for achieving these goals. The report also discusses poly vinyl alcohol fiber reinforced concrete materials properties and mix design. The PVA fiber will be added to the conventional concrete 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% by its cement weight. The Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Modulus of rupture of concrete was found and with comparison of concrete strengths the optimum level of PVA fiber was found. The durability performance of PVA fiber concrete found by immersion the concrete cubes in Sodium Chloride (NaCl), Sodium Sulphate (Na2SO4), and Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4) for 90 days.
The global usage of cement occupies the second position next to water. As the development of country and infrastructure, their materials needed get increased. Meanwhile for the development of the infrastructure concrete plays the major role. In concrete the major material or ingredient is ordinary Portland cement (OPC). OPC creates two major problems at the time of production; the emission of CO2 due to calcination of limestone and the usage of extensive amount of energy. On the other hand, fly ash is the material which is emitted from the power plants at the time of electricity production which has similar and superior properties of cement. If fly ash is mixed with any kind of hydroxide and silicate it forms as the binder, which is termed as geopolymer. In this paper we used the Potassium Hydroxide and Potassium Silicate as the combination of the alkaline solution. The present paper presents the study of potassium based geopolymer concrete with paper sludge ash as partial replacement of fly ash for 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in geopolymer concrete under various curing conditions such as Hot air Oven curing, Sun light curing and Ambient curing. The Flexural behavior of geopolymer concrete beams, flexural strength test, Load carrying capacity, ductility factor, crack pattern, beam deflection and moment curvature etc., for the geopolymer concrete produced from the Fly Ash and Paper Sludge Ash with Catalytic liquid system and aggregates under various curing conditions such as Hot air Oven curing, Sun light curing and Ambient curing.
