Study of an Innovative Construction Material – “Basalt Fiber”
Basalt fiber BCF is an inorganic fiber material. It is an all natural material and originates from volcanic rock. Basalt rock is melted at high temperature 1450° C and rapidly drawn into a continuous fiber. It then can be chopped into various lengths. Its color can vary between brown, gold, or gray. The basic characteristics […]
Study on Properties of Modified Bitumen for Flexible Pavement Construction using Plastic Scrap and Bakelite
The bituminous mix design aims to determine the proportion of bitumen, filler, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates to produce a mix which is workable, strong, durable and economical. In India, majority of road comprise of bituminous surfaced flexible pavements. Distress symptoms, such as cracking, rutting, etc., are being increasingly caused at earlier stages due to […]
Experimental Study on Utilization of Hybrid Fibers in Self Compacting Concrete
Self compacting concrete is a non segregating concrete that is placed by means of its own weight. It is highly flow able concrete that can spread without need of vibration. In this study steel and polypropylene fiber are used as hybrid fiber to enhance the workability of the concrete. In addition to this, CONPLAST SP […]
Influence of Urea on Concrete
This research represents an experimental study on influence of urea on concrete through various tests on urea, cement, concrete and water. Test of finesses modulus, slump test, carbonation test, pH test, urea ingression test and increase in strength with urea percentage .This study deals to overcome three major problems in the concrete namely heat of […]
Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete using Copper Slag as Replacement Material of Fine Aggregate
Concrete is one of the safe, strong and simple building material used in all types of construction works. The main inconvenience in concrete is that the tensile strength is relatively low. The introduction of steel fibers in concrete converts its nature from brittle to ductile. Cracks plays an important role in construction as they change […]
