Enhancing Compressive Strength of M25 Grade Concrete Using Ceramic Tiles Waste and Waste Fiber Metal: A Path Toward Sustainable Construction
Abstract: This study explores the use of Ceramic Tiles Waste and Waste Fiber Metal as partial replacements in M25 grade concrete, focusing on their impact on compressive strength. Various combinations of waste materials were tested to determine the optimal mix proportions. Compressive strength tests were conducted on concrete cubes incorporating 0.30%, 0.40%, and 0.50% Waste Fiber Metal with varying percentages of Ceramic Tiles Waste ranging from 20% to 50%. The results …

An Experimental Investigation of High Performance by Using Steel and Polypropylene Fibres
Abstract: This study explores the feasibility of partially substituting conventional cement in concrete with steel and polypropylene fibers to improve mechanical performance and introduce alternative composite materials. Concrete cube specimens measuring 150 × 150 × 150 mm were cast with varying mix designs corresponding to M20 and M25 grades. The experimental program was executed in two distinct phases. In Phase I, control mixes of M20 and M25 grade concrete were prepared …

Durability Assessment of Self Compacting, Self Curing Concrete Incorporating Crushed Rock Powder and Mineral Admixtures
Abstract: Curing plays a crucial role in achieving the desired strength, characteristics, and durability of concrete. Negligent curing practices can lead to adverse effects on hydration and mechanical properties of concrete. In recent times, self-curing concrete has gained significant attention due to its potential in reducing water loss through the use of self-curing agents. The Present Research study focus on investigation on durability characteristics of self-curing self-compacting concrete using crushed rock …
