Optimization of percentages of steel and glass fiber reinforced concreteeSAT Journals
Abstract Cementitious matrices are the fragile materials that possess a low tensile strength. The addition of fibers randomly distributed in these matrices improves their resistance to cracking, substantially. However, the incorporation of fibers into a plain concrete disrupts the granular skeleton and quickly causes problems of mixing as a result of the loss of mixture workability that will be translated into a difficult concrete casting in site. This study was concerned on the one hand with optimizing the fibers reinforced concrete mixes in the fresh state, and on the other hand with assessing the mechanical behaviour of this mixture in the hardened state, in order to establish a compromise between the two states . In this paper optimization of fibers by using different percentages in steel and glass fiber reinforced concrete of grade M 70 have been studied. It optimizes 1.5% for steel Fiber content and 1% for glass fiber content by the volume of cement is used in concrete. Keywords: fibers, fragile materials, cracking, substantially
Fibers are usually used in concrete to control cracking due to plastic shrinkage and to drying shrinkage. They also reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce bleeding of water. Some types of fibers produce greater impact–, abrasion–, and shatter–resistance in concrete. Generally fibers do not increase the flexural strength of concrete, and so cannot replace moment–resisting or structural steel reinforcement. Indeed, some fibers actually reduce the strength of concrete.
The amount of fibers added to a concrete mix is expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the composite (concrete and fibers), termed "volume fraction" (Vf). Vf typically ranges from 0.1 to 3%. The aspect ratio (l/d) is calculated by dividing fiber length (l) by its diameter (d). Fibers with a non-circular cross section use an equivalent diameter for the calculation of aspect ratio. If the fiber's modulus of elasticity is higher than the matrix (concrete or mortar binder), they help to carry the load by increasing the tensile strength of the material. Increasing the aspect ratio of the fiber usually segments the flexural strength and toughness of the matrix. However, fibers that are too long tend to "ball" in the mix and create workability problems.
Some recent research[where?] indicated that using fibers in concrete has limited effect on the impact resistance of the materials.[1][2] This finding is very important since traditionally, people think that ductility increases when concrete is reinforced with fibers. The results also indicated that the use of micro fibers offers better impact resistance to that of longer fibers.[1]

A REVIEW ON STRENGTHENING OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS USING GLASS FIBER REIN...Ijripublishers Ijri
Worldwide, a great deal of research is currently being conducted concerning the use of fiber reinforced plastic wraps,
laminates and sheets in the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete members. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
application is a very effective way to repair and strengthen structures that have become structurally weak over their life
span. FRP repair systems provide an economically viable alternative to traditional repair systems and materials.
Experimental investigations on the flexural and shear behavior of RC beams strengthened using continuous glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets are carried out. Externally reinforced concrete beams with epoxy-bonded GFRP sheets
were tested to failure using a symmetrical two point concentrated static loading system. Two sets of beams were casted
for this experimental test program. In SET I three beams weak in flexure were casted, out of which one is controlled
beam and other two beams were strengthened using continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets in flexure.
In SET II three beams weak in shear were casted, out of which one is the controlled beam and other two beams were
strengthened using continuous glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sheets in shear. The strengthening of the beams
is done with different amount and configuration of GFRP sheets.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF GLASS FIBRE CONCRETEIjripublishers Ijri
Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete is recent introduction in the field of concrete technology. The present day world is
witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult Civil Engineering Structures. Concrete being the most
important and widely used material is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties.
Concrete the most widely used construction material has several desirable properties like high compressive strength,
stiffness, durability under usual environmental factors. At the same time concrete is brittle and weak in tension. Efforts
are being made in the field of concrete technology to develop high performance concretes by using fibres and other admixtures
in concrete up to certain proportions. To improve the concrete properties, the system was named alkali resistance
glass fibre reinforced concrete in the present view the alkali resistance glass fibre has been used. In the present
experimental investigation the alkali resistance Glass Fibres has been used to study the effect on compressive strength
on M30 grades of concrete.

Gas leak detection is the process of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by means of various sensors.
These sensors usually employ an audible alarm to alert people when a dangerous gas has been detected.
The total circuit units are arranged on PCB board.
Concrete made with Portland cement has certain characteristics: it is relatively strong in compression but weak
in tension and tends to be brittle. These two weaknesses have limited its use. Another fundamental weakness of
concrete is that cracks start to form as soon as concrete is placed and before it has properly hardened. These
cracks are major cause of weakness in concrete particularly in large on site applications leading to subsequent
fracture and failure and general lack of durability
EFFECT OF CARBON LAMINATION ON THE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE STRUCTURESIAEME Publication
This work consists of preparation and testing of different structural model like cubes, Beams and Columns. They are tested for Compression test, Flexural test and Split tensile Test. The comparison between Laminated and un-laminated Structural Models was made in order to know how much strength gain after testing of these structural models, so by which the rehabilitation of any structure can be done without demolishing it with less weight to strength ratio.
TO INVESTIGATE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF STEEL FIBER AND SILICAFUME ON HIGH STREN...IAEME Publication
Fibres are generally mixed with concrete to enhance the resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, tests were carried out on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres and silica fume on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that addition of steel fibres and silica fume enhances the strength of the concrete. In this project practical tests were carried out to find out optimum quantity of steel fibres required to achieve the maximum flexural strength for higher grades of concrete. Tests were also carried out on the concrete by placing the steel fibres in layers within the concrete at different depths.
Strengthening structures via external bonding of advanced fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite is becoming very
popular worldwide during the past decade because it provides a more economical and technically superior alternative
to the traditional techniques in many situations as it offers high strength, low weight, corrosion resistance, high fatigue
resistance, easy and rapid installation and minimal change in structural geometry. Although many in-situ RC beams
are continuous in construction, there has been very limited research work in the area of FRP strengthening of continuous
beams.
THIS WAS THE PROJECT CARRIED OUT BY OUR TEAM AS A FINAL YEAR PROJECT. IN THIS PROJECT STEEL FIBERS WAS INDUCED ALONG WITH CEMENT MATRIX TO INCREASE THE DURABILITY, CRACK RESISTANCE AND FLEXURAL STRENGTH OF FERROCEMENT BLOCKS. THESE BLOCKS HAS MORE LATERAL STABILITY THAN ORDINARY BRICKS
Behaviour of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite in Flexure Shear Streng...ijtsrd
The corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete reduces the life of structures, causes high repair costs and can endanger the structural integrity of the structure itself. Glass fibre reinforced polymer GFRP offers a number of advantages over steel especially when used in marine and other salt laden environments. GFRP reinforcing bars are gradually finding wider acceptance as a replacement for conventional steel reinforcement as it offers a number of advantages. Technical studies on a number of concrete structures, from five to eight years old and constructed with GFRP reinforcement, have shown that there is no degradation of the GFRP from the alkaline environment. Concrete is very strong in compression but it is extremely weak in tension. To resist the tensile stress, steel reinforcement is provided in concrete. Reinforcement corrosion and structural deterioration in reinforced concrete structures are common, and prompted many researchers to seek alternative materials and rehabilitation techniques. One such material that has been offered as an alternative to mild steel reinforcement is Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer GFRP bars and flats. For the repair and strengthening of structural concrete members, strengthening with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer GFRP plates is an excellent option. The present work is to study the behavior of Shear resistance of the silica coated GFRP stirrups in the shear test zone. A series of studies were conducted using silica coated GFRP stirrups in shear zone. It is observed that beams with silica coated GFRP flats shear reinforcement have shown failure at higher loads than the theoretical failure loads. Further it is observed that GFRP flats as shear reinforcement exhibit fairly good ductility. Er.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

3. DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIBRES
Although every type of fibre has been tried out in cement
and concrete, not all of them can be effectively and
economically used. Each type of fibre has its characteristic
properties and limitations. Some of the fibres that could be
used are steel fibres, polypropylene, nylons, asbestos,
coir, glass and carbon. They are discussed in succeeding
text.
3 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
4. STEEL-FIBRE: A number of steel-fibre types are
available as reinforcement. Round steel fibres the
commonly used type, and are produced by cutting round
wires into short lengths. The typical diameters lie in the
range of 0.25 to 0.75 mm. Steel fibre having a rectangular
cross section are produced by slitting the sheets about 0.25
mm thick. For improving the mechanical bond between the
fibre and matrix, indented, crimped, machined and hook-
ended fibers are normally produced.
POLYPROPYLENE FIBRE: Polypropylene and nylon
fibres are found to be suitable to increase the impact
strength. They possess very high tensile strength, but their
low modulus of elasticity and higher elongation do not
contribute to the flexural strength.
4 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
5. ASBESTOS FIBRE: Asbestos is a mineral fibre and has
proved to be the most successful of all fibres as it can be
mixed with Portland cement paste. For unimportant fibre
concrete, organic fibres like coir, jute, canes plits are also
used.
GLASS FIBRE: Glass fibre is a recent introduction in
making fiber concrete. It has very high tensile strength of
1020 to 4080 N/mm2. Glass fibre which is originally used in
conjunction with cement was found to be effected by
alkaline condition of cement. Therefore, alkali-resistant
glass fibre by trade name “CEM-FIL” has been developed
and used. The alkali resistant fibre reinforced concrete
shows considerable improvement in durability when
compared to the conventional glass fibre.
5 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
6. CARBON FIBRE: Carbon fibre perhaps posses very high
tensile strength, say from 2110 to 2815 N/mm2. It has been
reported that cement composite made with carbon fibre as
reinforcement will have high modulus of elasticity and
flexural strength. Limited studies have shown good
durability. The use of carbon fibres for structures like
cladding, panels and shells have a promising future.
6 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
7. APPLICATIONS OF FRC
Fibre reinforced concrete is increasingly used on account
of the advantages of increased static and dynamic tensile
strength, energy absorbing characteristics and better
fatigue strength. The uniform dispersion of fibres
throughout the concrete provides isotropic properties not
common to conventionally reinforced concrete.
Uses: Fiber reinforced concrete has been tried on
overlays of air-field, road pavements, industrial
floorings, bridge decks, canal lining, explosive
resistant structures, refractory linings etc. The fibre
reinforced concrete can also be used for the fabrication of
precast products like pipes, beams, stair case steps,
wall panels, roof panels, manhole covers etc.
7 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
8. However, the main applications of SFRC are in highway
and airfield pavements, hydraulic structures, tunnel linings,
industrial floors, bridge decks, repair works etc. specifically,
SFRC can be applied in the following areas:-
HIGHWAY AND AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS: the steel-fibre
concrete can be used in new pavement constructions or in
the repair of existing pavements by the use of bonded or
unbonded overlays to the slab beneath. The major
advantages are: a higher flexural strength results in the
reduction of required pavement thickness; the resistance to
impact and repeated loading is increased.
SFRC gives a smooth riding surface without irregular
depressions. The overlays for the rehabilitation of runways,
taxiways, bridge decks, and the strengthening of existing
runways and taxiways to comply with the rigid requirements
of the newer generation of heavy-duty jet aircrafts, are
extensively used. SFRC can be advantageously used in
the repair of damaged patches in existing runways, and
8 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
9. HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES: The major advantage of
using steel-fiber concrete in hydraulic structures is its
resistance to cavitation or erosion damage by high velocity
water flow. The steel-fiber concrete has been successfully
used in the repair of spilling basin at Tarbela Dam in
Paksitan. The fibre concrete contained about one per cent
(by volume) of 25x0.25x0.55 mm slit steel fibres.
FIBRE SHOTCRETE: Fibre Shotcrete fibre shotcrete has
been used in rock slope stabilization, tunnel lining and
bridge repair. A thin coating of plain shotcrete applied
monolithically on top of the fiber shotcrete, may be used to
prevent surface staining due to rusting.
PRECAST APPLICATIONS: As brought out earlier they
include manhole covers, and concrete pipes. Improved
flexural and impact strengths may allow the use of steel-
fibre concrete components in rough handling situations.
9 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
10. CURRENT DEVELOPMENT IN FRC
The following are the three new developments taking place
in FRC:-
High fibre volume micro-fibre systems.
Slurry infiltrated fibre concrete (SIFCON).
Compact reinforced composites.
10 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
11. BATCHING, MIXING, PLACING,
COMPACTION AND FINISHING OF FRC
Method : The fibres are usually added to the aggregates
before the introduction of cement and water into the mixer. For
laboratory testing, fibres can be added in small amounts to the
rotating drum charged with cement, aggregate and water. For
large batches, the fibres are blown into the previously charged
rotating drum.
A fibre mix generally requires more time and vibration to move
the mix and to compact it into the forms. Surface vibration of
forms and exposed surface is preferable to prevent
segregation.
11 The Northcap University, Gurgaon
12. Some of the precautions taken while mixing placing and
compacting fibre-reinforced concrete are as follows:-
While mixing small quantities of fibre reinforced concrete
by hand, there is a possibility of steel fibres hitting the
eyes of the worker or pricking the hand. To avoid these
hazards, the hands should be protected by gloves and
the eye with safety glasses.
A pan mixer of the counter-flow type should be used for
mixing fibre reinforced concrete.
For uniform distribution of steel fibres, a dispenser should
be used. While dispensing the fibres into concrete, the
rate at which the fibres are fed to the mixer shouldbe
synchronized with rate of mixing.
