Experimental Study on Sisal Fiber Reinforced Concrete with Addition of Fly Ash

Abstract: Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. So we will provide the reinforcement to the concrete. Fiber Reinforced Concrete FRC can be used for a variety, of applications. Sisal is a natural fiber that is renewable, inexpensive, and readily accessible. SSF is a potential reinforcement for use in concrete because of its cheap cost, low density, high specific strength and modulus, negligible health risk, easy accessibility in certain states, and renewability. The manufacturing process of cement .emits considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) . Therefore there is an urgent need to reduce the usage of cement. Fly ash is produced from the combustion of coal in electric utility or industrial boilers. The concrete in which the cement is replaced up to 40%. The study focuses on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, performance of the blended concrete containing Na2CO3 is treated with sisal fiber for 5 days on the strength parameters normal concrete had been carried out by varying percentages of 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% for M30 grade of concrete design by using IS10262-2009. Concrete cubes and cylinder are tested at the age of 7, 14, and 28 days of curing
