INTRODUCTION

 Concrete having brittle property with less value of

tensile strength and strain capacities, hence is preferred
with fibers.

 When corrodes, steel rebar swells and increases the

tensile load on the concrete, which begins to crack and
spall, creating openings that lead to further and faster
deterioration of the steel and concrete.

 Tensile strength of FRP rebar is typically 1.5 to 2

times higher than steel. It also provides excellent fatigue
resistance, making it suitable for cyclic loading situations.

 The flexural failure is mainly occurred due to tensile

rupture of GFRP bars either within the mid-span region
or under the applied point load. The shear failure is
initiated by a major diagonal crack within the beam
shear span.
OBJECTIVES
 The aim of this investigation is to study the
Structural behavior of concrete while replacing the
reinforcement with polymer rod.
 To Study The Load Carrying Capacity and the deflection of
the reinforced Concrete beam And beam reinforced with
polymer rod

MATERIALS USED
Cement:
 Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) of 53 grade was used in which the
composition and properties is in compliance with the Indian standard
Organization.
 Cement can be defined as the bonding material having cohesive %
adhesive properties which makes it capable to unite the different
construction material and from the compacted assembly.
 Ordinary/Normal Portland Cement is the one of the most widely
used type of Portland cement.
 The name Portland cement was given by Joseph Aspdin in 1824due
to its similarity in color and its quality when it hardens like Portland
stone.
 Portland stone is white grey limestone in island of Portland, Dorset.

The chief chemical components of ordinary Portland cement are:

 Calcium
 Silica
 Alumina
 Iron
 Basic composition of OPC

Contents Percentage (%)

i. CaO 60-67
ii. SiO2 17-25
iii. Al2O 3.3-8
iv. Fe2O 3.05-6.0
v. MgO 0.5-4.0
vi. Alkalis 0.3-1.2
vii. SO 3.20-3.5
The chief compound which usually from in process of mixing:
 Tricalcium silicate (3CaO.SiO2)
 Dicalcium silicate (2CaO.SiO2)
 Tricalcium aluminate (3CaO.Al2O3)
 Tetracalcium aluminate (4CaO.Al2O3.Fe2O3)

Characteristics of OPC 53 grade:

 Durable
 Corrosion resistance
 Low heat of hydration
 Volume stability
 Gigantic compressive strength
Use of OPC 53 grade

 53 Grade OPC provides high strength and

durability to structures because of its optimum
particle size distribution and superior crystallized
structure.
 Being high strength cement, it provides numerous
advantages wherever concrete for special high
strength application is required, such as in the
construction of skyscrapers, bridges, flyovers,
chimneys, runways, concrete roads and other heavy
load bearing structures.
 Not only is this grade of cement stronger than
other grades / types, it is also more durable.
TESTING OF RAW MATERIAL
 SIEVE ANALYSIS
 Perform the hand method of sieving by means of a
lateral and vertical motion of the sieve, accompanied by
a jarring action, so as to keep the sample moving
continuously over the surface of the sieve.
 Do not turn or manipulate particles through the sieve by
hand.
 Continue sieving until not more than 0.5 % by mass of
the total sample will pass any sieve during one
additional minute of hand sieving.
 Mechanical sieving may be used only after it has been
demonstrated that the shaker will separate a test sample
with the same effectiveness as the hand method.
 The effectiveness of the mechanical shaker and the
minimum shaking time shall be determined for each
shaker by comparison with the hand-sieving method
using the procedure described below.
Concrete
 Concrete is a composite material composed mainly of
water, aggregate, and cement.
 Often, additives and reinforcements (such as rebar) are
included in the mixture to achieve the desired physical
properties of the finished material.
 When these ingredients are mixed together, they form a
fluid mass that is easily moulded into shape.
 Over time, the cement forms a hard matrix which binds
the ingredients together into a durable stone-like
material with many uses.
Aggregates:
 The inert mineral material such as sand, gravel, etc used for
manufacture of concrete are known as aggregates. Requirements of
Good Aggregates
 It should be sufficiently strong.
 It should be hard.
 It should be durable.
 It should have rough surface.
 It should be spherical or cubical in shape.

Classification of Aggregate:
 Coarse aggregate
 Fine aggregate
SIEVE FOR FINE SIEVE FOR COARSE
AGGREGATE AGGREGATE
SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF FINE AGGREGATE:
Procedure:
 About 2kg of the aggregate sample is washed thoroughly
to remove fines, drained and then placed in the wire
basket and immersed in distilled water at a temperature
between 22 to 320C with a cover of at least 50 mm of
water above the top of the basket
 Immediately after the immersion the entrapped air is
removed from the sample by lifting the basket containing
it 25 mm above the base of the tank and allowing it to
drop 25 times at the rate of about one drop per second.
 The basket and the aggregate should remain completely
immersed in water for a period of 24±0.5 hours
afterwards.
 The empty basket is then returned to the tank of water,
jolted 25 times and weights in water
