Role of Fibre in Enhancing Strength and Corrosion Resistance of GGBFS Concrete Incorporating with MSAND

Abstract
Manufactured sand can be utilized as an economical substitute to river sand due to inadequacy of natural sources. Corrosion of rebar is one of the main factors affecting durability of concrete. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of polypropylene fibre and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on the strength and corrosion resistive properties of concrete containing manufactured sand as fine aggregate. Based on experimental observation the influence of 40% GGBFS blended cement and various dosages of polypropylene fibre was analyzed. The results revealed that incorporation of manufactured sand, GGBFS and polypropylene fibre contributed to a significant improvement in splitting strength, flexural strength, bond strength and durability properties.
