 INTRODUCTION

 What is Fiber Reinforced Concrete ?

A composite material consisting of hydraulic cement ,water fine aggregate, coarse aggregate an
d discontinuous discrete Fiber is known as Fiber Reinforced concrete

 History Development Of Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Fibers are used in concrete from ancient times, previous horse hairs are used in mortar and
bricks. Later on with development steel, glass, carbon and natural fibers such as jute, coir, bamboo
are used in construction. Along this fibers steel fibers are extensively used because of their high m
odulas and durability.

 What is helix fiber Concrete ?

Helix is a revolutionary concrete reinforcing additive ,the patented, toothpick sized, twisted fib
ers give concrete added strength and reduces cracking.
 Why Helix Fiber Used In concrete ?

 Everyone knows that plain concrete is brittle and will crack .Since Helix is added with the other
ingredients, it becomes part of the mix and is dispersed throughout the entire matrix of the concr
ete. Adding Helix directly to the mix allows you to eliminate rebar or wire mesh and maximizes
ductility. Helix reinforced concrete continues to carry load with no loss in residual strength.
 Materials Used

 Water
 Portland cement
 Aggregates
 Steel fiber
 METHODOLOGY
The concrete is reinforced with the steel fiber in various proportions such as 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%,
1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% by weight of cement. All the volume proportions were tested with Aspect R
atio 60 to 80 (30 to 40 mm length and diameter of 0.5mm). The flexural, split tensile, durability, im
pact tests will analysed as per IS standards on 7th , 14th and 28th day of curing.

After analysing data best suitable proportion for achieving strength, durability and economy w
ill find out.
 TEST TO BE PERFORM
1. Aggregate :
Specific Gravity
water Absorption
Flakiness index
Elongation Index
2. Concrete Cube :
Flexural Strength test
Split Tensile Strength on SFRC
Heat Absorption Test
Durability Test
 Advantages

(i) Crack Control in concrete composite

(iii) Fatigue & impact resistance in concrete composite
(iv) Flexural strain capacity is enhanced in concrete composite
(v) Adds ductility to concrete composite
(vi) Narrow joint width in concrete composite
(vii) Shear load transfer in concrete composite
(viii) Post crack lucidity of concrete composite
(ix) Reduces material consumption & saves cost of concrete composite structure

 (x) Reduces construction time of concrete composite structure
