Abstract:
This paper deals with the study of the effect of addition of wood waste ash (WWA) and crimped steel fibre (CSF) in concrete. Wood ash is the residue produced from the incineration of wood, and its products like chips saw dust and bark for power generation or other uses. This is a bio waste and is used as a pozzolanic material admixed in concrete to increase durability and strength. CSF is produced as a by-product from industrial processes. Commercial production of CSF for use in concrete is also available now-a-days. In the present investigation an attempt is made to evaluate the workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure strength on addition of 0, 10, 20 and 30% WWA along with CSF of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% in concrete. Standard cubes of 150 X 150 X 150 mm has been cast and tested for obtaining 28-day compressive strength. Standard cylinders of 150mm diameter and 300 mm height were cast and tested for Split tensile strength. Standard Beams of 500 X100 X100 were cast and tested for Flexural strength. The results obtained show that gradual increase of both WWA & CSF has decreased the workability. However, the compressive strength increased with the increase of WWA up to 20%and increase of CSF up to 0.75%. Similar trend was followed for split tensile strength of cylinders and flexural strength of beams.
