Abstract
In this study, crimped steel fibres and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag manufacturing sand (M-Sand) were used in an experimental study of fibre reinforced concrete. We know that concrete is weak in tension and strong in compression, and that the fine aggregate used in concrete is typically natural river sand. Our goal is to replace the natural sand with manufactured sand and to increase the compressive and tensile strength of the concrete by adding steel fibre. Granulated Blast Furnace Slag M-Sand is used as a fine aggregate to get over the problems caused by over-mining of sand. Gravel crushers generate Granulated Blast Furnace Slag M-Sand, which is homogeneous in size.Investigating the impact of steel fibres on concrete made with Granulated Blast Furnace Slag M-sand as the fine aggregate is the primary goal of this study, which also aims to create a high- performance concrete. The compressive and tensile strengths of concrete grade M30 with various steel fibre percentages (0%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2%), respectively, are proposed to be measured and compared.
