Abstract High strength concrete is one that aids in all aspects of overcoming practical obstacles as well as other functionality of any structure. Concrete pavements, high-rise buildings, long-span bridges, hydraulic systems, and other applications all benefit from the use of High strength concrete. With the addition of fibres to the concrete mix, the qualities of the concrete improve dramatically. Many research projects are currently underway to make High strength concrete more cost- effective and durable by including supplemental cementation ingredients and alternative replacement aggregates. This experimental Investigation is to find the mechanical properties of fibre reinforced High strength concrete by substituting foundry sand (FS) and crushed concrete waste (CCW) for fine and coarse aggregate, respectively. Every 5% interval, the percentage replacement of foundry sand ranges from 0% to 40%, and every 10% interval, the percentage replacement of crushed concrete waste varies from 0% to 40%. Mechanical parameters of High strength concrete were tested, including compressive strength, flexure, tensile, shear strength, and impact strength. For the preparation of High strength concrete, M80 Mpa concrete is used. The IRC44:2017 rules and recommendations were followed during the mix design process. Polypropylene fibres weighing 0.3 percent of the cement weight were employed in this study. Mechanical qualities were determined by producing certain mould sizes for specific tests, which were cured for standard curing periods, with the results tallied and explained for each day.

  1. INTRODUCTION

      1. General

        HSC will become an essential concrete material than the normal conventional concrete in the coming years. HSCs with a strength equal to or more than M-80 MPa are used in a wide range of construction applications, taking into account their performance and role in each application. Different types of steel or polymer based fibres are employed in HSC to increase tensile strength, ductility, and toughness, resulting in fibre reinforced concrete. The Permeability criteria are also reduced by the HSC. Proper concrete mix design is critical in achieving the desired concrete in the construction business. Concrete becomes more workable and durable when the W/C ratio is maintained properly. By limiting the W/C ratio to an exceptionally low percentage, additional strength can be achieved in terms of plasticizers and superplasticizers.

      2. Scope of HSC

        HSC is required in all concrete fields and construction projects that have concrete components that must resistance against high crushing loads. HSC is applicable in tall structures where the grade of concrete is higher there by reducing the total density of the member. It has been used in components of the framed structures such as vertical members especially on bottom stories loads is greater, retaining walls and footing sections. HSC with fibres are also largely used in construction of heavy bridges having long spans as well. HSC is also used in the construction of culverts and highway pavements. HSC also largely used in pre-stressed concrete girders.

      3. Classification of HSC

  3. EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY

      1. Cube Casting

        Cubes were constructed with a concrete mixture that did not contain discarded foundry sand as fine aggregate and CCW as coarse aggregate. With varied percentages of discarded foundry sand as fine aggregate and CCW as coarse aggregate in the HSC (Foundry sand- 10% , 20% , 30% and 40% , CCW-5 % , 10% ,

        15% and 20% ).

      2. Concrete Cube Curing

        All test specimens were maintained at room temperature in the casting chamber after casting. After 24 hours, they were de- moulded and placed in a water-curing tank for 7, 14, and 28 days at room temperature.

      3. Mix design:

        Mix Design is a method of selecting appropriate constituent materials for the creation of concrete and determining their relative proportions as efficiently as feasible in order to achieve the desired qualities of both fresh and hardened concrete. The IRC 44-2017 mix design procedure is employed in this inquiry.

      4. Experimental Observations:

        1. Tests for fresh concrete:

          1. Slump test

            Slump test for the fresh concrete was carried for every mix to define the workability of the concrete mix. Proper workability of concrete by maintaining the w/c ratio to get the good compressive strength. Slump values were recorded for every mix.

            Figure 4: Slump Cone

          2. Compaction factor test

    Compaction factor test for fresh concrete was carried to determine the workability of concrete by determining the compaction factor of different proportion of concrete and compaction factors values are recorded for regular tests. This test is very much helpful for the concrete having very low workability.

    Figure5: Compaction factor testing equipment

        1. Test for hardened concrete

          1. Compressive strength

            A compressive strength test determines how much compression load the specific dimension of the concrete cube can handle. A compression test setup can be used to cure and test the cube, which can be made to a standard size of 150mmx150mmx150mm. The compressive strength of the cube can be calculated using the compression load applied to the area of the specimen for various curing durations. P/A= Compressive strength, Where P be the failure loads, A is the specimen's surface area.

          2. Split Tensile Strength

            Samples of desired mix grade concrete was prepared for required mould dimension and once the concrete gets hardened for certain curing periods, the tensile taking capacity of the concrete mix can be determined by conducting split tensile strength. Cylindrical cube of 150mm diameter and 300mm length test specimen was prepared for this test.

            The mould was properly positioned on the flat form, and the load after crushing was measured and used to calculate the concrete's split tensile strength. The formula was created using IS: 05816-1970 standards.

            Ft = 2P/DL

            Where P = Crushing load on the cylinder

            L = Length of the cylinder D = Diameter of the cylinder

          3. Flexural strength test

            A flexural strength test can be performed using one or two point loads without supports. The 100mmx100mmx500mm

            mould was prepared and cured for the proper curing times. This test can be used to determine the concrete's toughness properties as well as analyse its flexural behaviour in post- cracking stages. The formula below can be used to calculate flexural strength.

            Flexural strength= (PL/bd2) x100

            Where, P=critical load in KN, L= Effective length of beam=400mm

            b= Beam width-100mm d=Beam depth=100mm

          4. Impact test (Dropping Weight test)

            Figure 6: Impact strength testing machine Computation of the impact strength was as follows, Impact

            strength= (Wight of hammer * height * n) in N-m Where, W= Weight of hammer

            H=Height of hammer, N=Number of blows.

          5. Shear Strength Test of Concrete (As Per IS: 516- 195)

    Shear strength test is carried to test the shear taking capacity of the mix by preparing the specimen in the shape of L and the suitable arrangement was made in compressive strength testing machine to test the shear strength of the concrete.

    Formula:

    Shear Strength = (Load / Area) × 1000

    Where, P = Failure load in kN, A = Area of shear surface.

  5. CONCLUSIONS

  • The FRHSC's workability quality reduces the slump value when replaced, and the similar effect is seen in fibered concrete. However, in this scenario, the compaction factor remained below 1 (Compaction factor 1). In this study, shear slump was found for all types of HSC.

  • For 28 days of curing, the optimal value of compressive strength of HSC compared to replaced concrete is given as follows: Compressive strength of Conventional HSC without fibre=96.74 Mpa Compressive strength of Conventional HSC with fibre=101.03 Mpa Optimum value of compressive strength of foundry sand without fibre=100.14 Mpa

  • Optimum value of foundry sand compressive strength with fibre=106.22 Mpa

  • Compressive strength of crushed concrete waste without fibre at optimum=95.11 Mpa

  • Compressive strength of crushed concrete waste with fibre=101.03 Mpa optimum value

  • The maximum replacement of foundry sand in compressive strength with and without adding fibre is 15%, and crushed concrete waste is 10%.

  • The best replacements were chosen based on compressive strength after 280 days of curing, and the Flexural strength of the concrete was tested on those concrete mixtures.

  • The flexural strength of typical concrete after 280 days of curing is 13 Mpa.

  • Flexural0strength of 10% CCW achieved after 280 days of curing=12.0 Mpa

  • Flexural strength of 15% foundry sand obtained after 280 days of curing= 12.5 MpaThere is a substantial increase in the Flexural strength of the HSC by providing the poly-propylene fibres of dosage about 0.3% by volume of cementitious material for both conventional and replaced concrete.

  • The impact strength of HSC will be doubled when polypropylene fibre is added, as shown in the test results. The impact value of the FRHSC was found to be 229 percent higher than that of standard concrete in this study.

  • The split tensile strength of the fibre reinforced HSC for 10 percent CCW and 15 percent FS was notable at

    6.08 Mpa and 6.50 Mpa, respectively.

  • In comparison to typical M80 grade concrete, shear strength of fibre reinforced HSC increases with 15% replacement of foundry sand and decreases with 10% replacement of CCW. Strength values for 15 percent FS and 10% CCW are 54.45 Mpa and 45.56 Mpa, respectively.

  • Flexural strength of 15% foundry sand obtained after 280 days of curing= 12.5 Mpa
