| Abstract: | This study presents reusing of locally available waste
fibrous materials as concrete composites. Mechanical strength properties
(compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, modulus
of rupture and shear strength) of synthetic fibres (nylon, plastic and tyre)
with volume fractions (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) and aspect ratios (30, 60 and 90)
were evaluated. Empirical relation was proposed for mechanical strength in
relation with fibre reinforcing index (FRI) and compared with experimental results.
Concrete mixed with rural waste fibres improved mechanical strength. |
