Conclusion

3. Concrete containing cement, water, aggregates and discrete fibres is called
Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC)
Composite obtained by adding a single type or a blend of fibres to the
Conventional concrete mix.

4. To bridge the cracks that develops in the concrete and increase
the ductility of the concrete elements.
Reduce the permeability of concrete.
Increase the tensile strength of concrete.
Excellent resistance to creep.

6. Bridge

7. Ratio of length of fibre to its diameter (L/D)

10. High Durability
Protect steel from corrosion
Lighter Material
Less Workability
Low Durability
Steel potential to corrosion
Heavier Material
High workability as compare to FRC

12. Reduces the permeability of concrete
Reduce steel reinforcement requirements
Improve Ductility
Control the crack width
