Abstract

In today's modernization of technological field lot of studies and trials are being carried out for manufacturing an excessive strong, long lasting and heavy duty concrete. In this study how the silica fume and steel fibers are beneficial if added to normal concrete is discussed. The results of this study depicts that the addition of silica fume and steel fibers in the normal concrete enhance the concrete properties like workability, brittleness, bond strength, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, acid resistance and ultimately increased durability of the structure which can be achieved by adding the appropriate quantity of silica fume and steel fibers. Lot of fact finding experimental examination and there analysis were carried out for fining out the compressive, split tensile and flexural behavior of composite concrete with adding different proportion of silica fume and steel fibers. The concrete mix used for this study was M30 and the addition of silica fume and stainless steel fibers was experimented with different proportions like 0 , 4 , 8 , 12 and 16 and 0 , 0.5 , 1.0 , 1.5 and 2.0 respectively. The steel fibers used in this study were of .50 mm diameter and 40 mm in length as a partial replacement of cement weight. The result after analyzing showed that when the normal concrete is mixed with silica fume and straight steel fibers in proper proportions it improves the properties and execution of composite mixture as compared to the ordinary concrete. This rational advancement can be positively accepted and utilized in the regular constructions. Vikas Arya | Er. V. S.
