Abstract

In today’s world, the construction activities are increasing gradually. And in construction industry concrete has a very important role. So the studies should be done in order to improve properties of concrete. The various industrial waste like fly ash, rice husk ash, silica fume etc. possess approximately similar properties of cement. So it is very reasonable to replace the cement partially with these waste materials to make the concrete cost effective and more durable. Also various fibres like polypropylene fibre, steel fibre, glass fibre
etc. should be used to increase the concrete properties. In this study, the effect of replacing the cement with RHA and addition of polypropylene fibre has been studied. The percentage of RHA is 10% by weight of cement and that of polypropylene is 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.0% by weight of cement. M35 grade of concrete is used in this study.
