Abstract

Fiber reinforcement is commonly used to provide toughness and ductility to brittle cementitious matrices. Reinforcement of concrete with a single type of fiber may improve the desired properties to a limited level. There is an urge to produce sustainable concrete by using recycled aggregates. This study aims to characterize and quantify the mechanical properties of sisal fiber and recycled aggregate concrete. Volume percentage of fiber inclusion was varied from 0 to 2%. Slump test and compaction factor test was carried out for each mix in the fresh state. Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, flexural strength tests will be performed in the hardened state on M20 grade of concrete. The use of recycled aggregates will be used with a replacement level of 50% and 100%.
