Comparison between Reinforced Cement Concrete and Fibre Reinforced Beam using Finite Element Method

Concrete is one of the most widely recognized development material for the most part delivered by utilizing locally accessible ingredients. This paper investigates the study of workability, mechanical properties and finite element method to investigations of reinforced cement concrete RCC with fibre reinforced concrete FRC and containing admixture of conplast SP430 was used. Fibre reinforced concrete is gaining attentionto improve the performance of concrete. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of various fibres on the strength parameters of reinforced cement concrete with fibre reinforced concrete. Three types of concrete were prepared, out of which, the first type was prepare by adding polypropylene fibre in concrete proportion of 0.25 , and 0.3 , the second type was prepared by inclusion of nylon fibre in concrete proportion of 0.25 , and 0.3 , the third was carried out by adding Basalt fibre in the ratio of 0.5 in concrete mix. All the three concrete mixes are prepared with plain M30 grade concrete. The fresh properties like slump cone test are carried out to evaluate the workability of three concrete mixes. The hardened properties like compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural behavior are performed to work out the strength parameter using different proportions of various fibres incorporated in concrete. The experimental results are analyzed by using finite element analysis package ANSYS to predict the mechanical property of composite. V. Vishali | A.
