Conventional Concrete Mix Design for Producing the Low and High Volume of Fly Ash Based Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract

The present research work analysis the conceptual concrete mix design regarding the packing unit density concept for multi initial trial and error perfect shaped methodologies. In initial, a high strength based concrete with desired target compressive strength of M40 Graded concrete was shaped for various mixing proportion and Also, a stabilized standard chart has been developed for the various packing constituents (percentage) in various parameters, where the aggregates (F/c) ratio 0.5 to 0.8, Binder-Total aggregate (B/Ta) ratio 0.27 to 0.24 and water-binder content (w/b) ratio 0.30. The laboratory experimental research work results contain fly ash percentage replacement level at 25 and 50% in Portland cement and inclusion of both ends hooked type of steel fibers along with 1.50% of superplasticizers by weight of binder content for the various mix produced for the good tracking of the UPV values by using fabricating Plexiglas moulds, Pozzolanic Activity Index (PAI), if the compressive strength increases automatically less volumetric shrinkage takes place.

Investigating the Simultaneous Effect of Macro Fly Ash and Oak Bark Ash on Mechanical Properties of Concrete

“…It is a byproduct of fuel combustion that is captured and collected by electrostatic precipitators or filter bags (or both) located at the place where furnace exhaust gases exist. The collected ashes are stored compactly until they are moved to a different place [10][11][12][13][14]. This article aims to find out whether substituting volcanic ash for cement works and how oak ash affects concrete, and finally, it aims to introduce a better concrete design [15][16][17][18][19].…”
