AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE DURABILITY OF CONCRETE BY USE OF SISAL FIBER

Abstract

An examination on the durability of cement is completed with and without utilizing sisal fiber. The rigidity of Portland cement concrete is less. And also the imperviousness to splitting is low. Brittleness is another essential property for ordinary concrete. The basic properties of concrete can be enhanced by the inclusion of strands. The fibrous parts of concrete capture the spread of split. Additionally plastic shrinkage and drying shrinkage can be lessened. Consideration of filaments brings down the permeability thusly seeping of water is lessened. Natural fibers can be delivered from vegetables, roots, wood or leaves of a plant. This paper reports the trial look on the examination of expansion of sisal fiber in cement by 1.5% of volume, and the correlation of strength between ordinary cement and Sisal fiber strengthened cement is given. Acid attack test and Alternative drying and wetting test have led and the outcomes got are examined in this paper.
