Abstract

The high cost of conventional construction materials is an existing factor affecting housing system around the world. This has necessitated research work into alternative materials in the construction field. The aim of this paper is to study the properties of fibers reinforced concrete produced from steel fibers and fly ash. As different dosages of cement were replaced by fly ash and steel fiber, the additive material was added. Fibers have been used in concrete as reinforcement and strengthening component under tension. The various strength such as compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength was experimentally noted for each sample, the fly ash was replaced 5, 10, 15 and 20% cement content respectively. The sample was cured for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. The aspect of soaking was also considered. The results obtained indicate noticeable improvement in strength with the inclusion of fibers and cement.
