 We would like to express my gratitude to those who
gave us the possibility to complete this project. We
would like to thank ER. Anita Joshi and ER. Pankaj
Chauhan who encouraged us to go ahead and complete
our project.
 We are deeply indebted to our teachers who’s help,
stimulating suggestion and encouragement helped us
in all the time.
 Especially I would like to thank my parents who’s
patient, love enabled me to complete this work and at
last but not the least I would like to thank God for
successful completion of the project.
 Concrete is a
construction material
composed of cement,
fine aggregates (sand)
and coarse aggregates
mixed with water which
hardens with time.
Components: - Uses: -
 Cement  the construction of
 Fine aggregates structures, especially the
 Coarse aggregates
load carrying structural
components.
 Water.
 for providing damp –
proof courses.
 decoration purpose.
 concrete containing
fibrous material which
increases its structural
integrity.
 It contains short discrete
fibers that are uniformly
distributed and
randomly oriented
COMPONENETS PROPERTIES
 FINE AGGREGATES  increases the binding
 COARSE AGGREGATES property of the concrete.
 FIBER
 reduces the air voids and
 CEMENT
water voids
 WATER
 It increases the durability
 cement is a binder, a
substance used for
construction that sets,
hardens, and adheres to
other materials to bind
them together.
 Cement is seldom used
on its own, but rather to
bind sand and gravel
(aggregate) together.
 Fine aggregates generally
consist of natural sand or
crushed stone with most
particles passing through
a 9.5mm sieve.
 It provides strength to
the concrete.
 particles that are
predominantly retained
on the 4.75 mm (No. 4)
sieve and will pass
through 3-inch screen,
are called coarse
aggregate.
 permits a reduction in
cement and water
requirements.
 are useful in providing
greater resistance to
plastic shrinkage
cracking and service-
related cracking.
 provides strength to the
concrete.
 Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete
 Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced (PFR) cement mortar
& concrete
 GFRC Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
 Asbestos Fibers
 Carbon Fibers
 Organic Fibers
 These materials are considered as a waste material in
most parts of the world
 are also available in abundance and at a very low cost.
 reinforces the mortar and prevents the spalling of
concrete.
 control plastic shrinkage
cracking and drying
shrinkage cracking.
 also lower the
permeability of concrete
and thus reduce bleeding
of water.
 Material used : -
 Cement : - PPC
 Fine aggregates (sand) : - particles passing through
2.36 mm IS sieve
 Coarse aggregates(gravel) : -particles passing
through 20 mm IS sieve and retained on 4.75mm IS
sieve
 Fiber : - hair, coconut fiber, pine needles.
 Water : - collected from local fresh water resources.
The construction steps are:
 Collection and proportioning of materials
 Mixing
 Pouring in moulds for casting
 Compaction
 Demoulding
 Curing
 The raw materials are
collected and stored at
site.
 The materials are stored
carefully so that they
cannot mixed with each
other.
Mix Proportion M15 M20 M25
Quantity of Cement (kg) 1.06 1.35 1.86

Quantity of sand (kg) 2.15 2.05 1.88

(1.5%)
Quantity of fiber (kg) 0.021 0.027 0.037

 After batching of
materials the material
are mixed together.
 The process of mixing of
various materials of
concrete in specified
proportions is known as
mixing of concrete.
 process of depositing
the concrete mix in its
required position is
known as placement of
concrete.
 concrete is placed in the
moulds to get the desired
shape and size.
 process of removing the
entrapped air and
achieving maximum
density is known as
compaction.
 process of obtaining a
true and uniform
concrete surface is
known as finishing of
concrete surface.
 After finishing of
concrete surface the
specimen is allowed to
dry for 24 hours .
 After 24 hours the
concrete cube is
demoulded carefully
without damages its
edges.

 The process of keeping
the finished surface
moist to enable it to gain
strength is called curing.
 Water for curing should
portable.
 Weight test
 Water absorption test.
 The weight of fiber reinforced concrete cube is less as
compared to PCC cube.
 The water absorption of hair & coconut fiber concrete
cube is less but the water absorption of pine needle is
more.
 The minor project “ Fiber Reinforced Concrete”
undertaken in the starting of 5th semester is an
important approach for the professional students. By
this we can use fibers (waste materials) in the cement
concrete to increase the properties of concrete. It can
increase the properties like binding property, tensile
strength, reduces pores and cracks etc.
