Abstract

The fiber can be the effective material to reinforce concrete. It will not only improve the compressive strength it will explore the properties of concrete. By using the jute as the reinforcement material for the concrete, it will restrict the utilization of the polymer which is environmentally detrimental. Jute is locally available and hence, less expensive. To achieve this goal, an experimental investigation of the compressive strength of the Jute Reinforced Foam Concrete (JRFC) has been conducted. Cube of standard dimensions have been made to introduce jute varying the mix ratio of the ingredients in concrete, W/C ratio, and volume of the fiber to know the effect of parameters as mentioned. Compressive strength test has been conducted on the prepared samples by appropriate testing apparatus according to the standard specifications. The final conclusion of this study was the maximum strength of the jute reinforced foam concrete is 2.6MPa and 2.3MPa for the concentration of 0.3 percentage in the form of jute fiber and jute yarn respectively. The strengths of jute fiber reinforced foam concrete and jute yarn reinforced foam concrete has been increased 30% and 15% respect to the foam concrete.
