Usage of Poly-Propylene Fiber to enhance the Compressive Strength of Conventional and Partially Replaced Fly Ash Concrete

Abstract

The fly ash produced from the burning of
pulverized coal in a coal-fired boiler is a fine
grained, granular particulate material which
can majorly use in concrete. Most important
thing is it is a large quantity of industrial waste.
This type of industrial waste can be done for
various types of research purposes for scientists.
In this research work, an effectively replaced the
fly-ash by weight of cement with four different
percentages that is 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% by
total volume of cement content to find the
optimum percentage of fly ash. The
Compressive strength was main criteria to
enhance that strength by using polypropylene
fibres are added with a constant replaced
percentage of 0.3% of total volume of concrete
and determined for both with and without poly
propylene fibres in concrete with respect to
curing periods.
