A POLYESTER RESIN COMPOSITE-BASED EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF CHARCOAL PARTICLE REINFORCED GLASS FIBRE
Abstract: The mechanical characteristics of jute/E-glassfibre polyester composites were examined (AC) after theincorporation of activated carbon particles. The polyestermatrix was loaded with five different particle loading ratios(0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 percent). To increase the adhesion of jutefibres to the polyester matrix, they were treated in a NaOHsolution. Hardness, tensile, and water absorption tests wereperformed on polyester, Activated Carbon- filled polyesterand jute/E-glass fibers polyester with and without ActivatedCarbon filter. The …

Compressive Strength of SCC Increased by Use of HD-Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber
Abstract: Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. …
