An Experimental Investigation report on Cement Concrete with partial replacement of fine Aggregate with Demolished Waste with Sisal Fibre-an Naturally available material.

Abstract

Concrete is one of the highly used materials by men next to water. Because of vast increase in infrastructure requirements and lack in sufficient materials in production of concrete we have to pave for new type of alternate materials. Many research workers tried construction waste in concrete and some other used sisal fiber in concrete to improve strength and durability properties of concrete. This investigation is based on combining the both demolished waste and sisal fiber in concrete to test various behaviors of concrete. For normal design mixes fine aggregate is replaced by demolished waste collected from demolishing construction site in proportions of 20%,40%,80% and 100%.For each mix well dried sisal fiber is added by 1% and mix is prepared.

      This concrete is made in cylinders and various tests like compression test, split tensile test, modulus of elasticity test and various durability tests like moisture migration, moisture absorption, water evaporation are conducted for 1 day, 7days and 28 days.
