Experimental Investigation On Compression Tension And Flexural Strength Of Jute Fiber Reinforced Concrete

This paper presents experimental investigation of mechanical properties of jute fiber reinforcedrnconcrete. Compressive,Splitting tensile and Flexural test were performed with a jute fiber volumernfraction ranging from 0.5 – 2%, 15cm fiber length and Aspect ratio(D/L) of 0.00066mm. A total ofrn80 specimens were taken for experimental investigation. Cylinders of standardrndimension(150*300mm) are provided. Those provided cylindrical specimens are for conductingrnexperiment on tensile and compression properties. Flexural strength test have been conducted on thernprepared sample beams having a dimension of 100*100*500mm. Various amount of jute fiber similarrnto that cylindrical specimens are also considered in beams. The result of this experiment indicate thatrnadding jute fiber in concrete generally enhance tensile and flexural strength, decrease compressivernstrength and workability and arrest cracks formation and propagation and ductility. So it can bernconcluded that concrete having jute fiber of length 15cm and 1.5% of its volumetric content have thernoptimal result for compression, Tension as well as Flexure.
