Techno-Economical Study on Use of Fly ash and Glass Fibre in Concrete

In this book, A brief introduction for fly ash and glass fibre. A major use for fly ash in the construction industry is in the production of high quality structural concrete. Fly ash contributes beneficial properties to the concrete while helping to maintain the economy. The use of fly ash (Class F), the thermal industrial waste in concrete formulations as a supplementary cementitious material was tested as an alternative to conventional concrete. Addition of glass fiber in the mix increases the tensile strength of concrete. The cement has been replaced by fly ash (Class F) and addition of glass fiber at constant proportion in concrete mix. Concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compression strength, flexural strength, durability (sea water), and modulus of elasticity with the conventional concrete. This book covers Techno-Economical study on use of Fly ash and Glass Fibre in Design Mix Concrete for next generation.
