Combine Effect of Metakaolin, Recycled Steel Fiber and Waste Glass Powder on Mechanical Properties of Concrete
Abstract
This study investigates the combined effects of metakaolin, recycled steel fiber, and waste glass powder on the mechanical properties of concrete. Specifically, the research explores concrete mixes with metakaolin, crushed glass powder at 9%, 12%, 15%, and 18%, and recycled steel fiber at 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% as partial replacements for cement. The primary aim is to identify the optimal mix proportions that enhance the compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, and durability of M30 grade concrete. In accordance with Indian standards to assess the performance of the concrete mixtures comprehensive laboratory tests were conducted. Various proportions trials were taken to find out a sustainable solution for increased compressive strength. The combination of metakaolin, recycled steel fibers and waste glass powder proved to be a better option in enhancing compressive strength. The findings of this research provide valuable insights into optimizing concrete mixes for improved mechanical properties and sustainability.
