Shear Strength Characteristics of Fiber Reinforced Fly Ash

چکیده
Disposal of an industrial waste like flyash produced from burning of coals in thermal power stations requires a large land area. The decreasing availability of good construction site has led to the increased use of low lying areas filled up with industrial wastes whose bearing capacity is low. In-situ treatment of such industrial waste fills; in order to improve their bearing capacity with reinforcements is a good alternative to other conventional methods of stabilization. In comparison with systematically reinforced soil, randomly distributed discrete fiberreinforced soil mimics soil stabilization by admixture and exhibit some advantages. A series of tri-axial tests were conducted with specimens of both plain as well as fly ash reinforced with fibers (polyethylene) having different aspect ratios and fiber content (0.251.0% of dry weight of fly ash). Inclusion of reinforcement in general increased shear strength of flyash. Indian Geotechnical Conference – 2010, GEOtrendz December 16–18, 2010 IGS Mumbai Chapter & IIT Bombay

Durable Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Supplimentary Cementitious Materials
Durability of concrete structure in marine environments is a big issue for many decades due to chloride attack. Chloride penetrates the concrete structure and accelerates the corrosion process of reinforcement which decreases the life of those structures. Also shrinkage cracks in concrete play main role for chloride penetration through concrete surface. Many researchers tried to find easy and ...

The present Experimental investigation is to study the Mechanical Properties of the Fly ash concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The concrete composite comprises of steel fibers in different percentages and partial replacement of cement in different proportions. Steel fibers varied from 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement and replacement of fly ash varied from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% ...
متن کاملStepwise Regression for shear capacity assessment of steel fiber reinforced concrete beams
The addition of steel fibers into concrete improves the postcracking tensile strength of hardened concrete and hence significantly enhances the shear strength of reinforced concrete reinforced concrete beams. However, developing an accurate model for predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a challenging task as there are several parameters such as the co...

In this study, the elevated temperature flexural strengths of lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) containing fly ash (FA) and polypropylene fiber (PF) was investigated experimentally and statistically. The variables included were the temperature degrees (in a range of 20 to 600°C), LFC densities of 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 kg/m3 and additive content. Two mixes were made by replacing 15% and ...
متن کاملComparative Study on Effects of Fly Ash, Nano Silica and Silica Fume on Properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete
Self Compacting concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete that is able to consolidate under its own weight without any need for vibration. The high fluid nature of SCC makes it suitable for placing it in difficult conditions and in sections with congested reinforcement. Use of SCC overcomes the difficulties pertaining to casting conditions and reduces the man power required. Self compacting concrete...
