EFFECT OF GRINDED GLASS FIBER STRANDS ON THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE TILES

Abstract

The impact of glass fiber on compressive strength, flexural strength and split-tensile strength was contemplated for various fiber strands content on M25 Grade concrete planned according to IS 10262. The largest size of aggregate utilized was 20mm. To learn about the impact on compressive strength, flexural strength and split-tensile strength, cubes and cylinders each were casted and tested. The water cement ratio was kept equal to 0.45. Various strength tests like compressive strength test, flexural strength and split-tensile strength test were conducted after the initial tests on concrete were carried out respectively. The same was done on concrete tiles, to learn about the impact of fibers on the same. The greatest size of aggregates used was 8mm. Water-Cement ratio was kept same at 0.45. Like cubes and cylinders, respective tests on tiles were conducted on tiles
