Abstract
One of the most popular composite materials in contemporary building is reinforced concrete (RC). Concrete is a rather brittle substance that is more robust when compressed but less so when stretched. Many constructions are not suited for plain, unreinforced concrete because of its inadequate ability to bear stresses caused by vibrations, wind loads, and other factors. Concrete can be strengthened by embedding steel rods, wires, mesh, or cables before it solidifies. This reinforcement, often known as rebar, resists tensile forces, In Present Investigation with cement block with different admixtures i.e. fly ash and steel fiber mixed together as a admixture in a cement block with a percentage of 15%, 20%, 25% for fly ash and steel fiber of diameter 1, 2 and 3mm , the compression test were perform on 36 block and found that the concrete block of M20 with a proportion of mixture 15% of fly ash and 20% of steel fiber exhibits optimum compressive strength with steel fiber of 1mm diamter, thus this results obtained are evaluated in Taguchi optimization with L9 orthogonal array with signal to noise ratio and found the optimum result in compressive strength of cement block compared to other admixture cube samples.
