An Experimental Investigation on Nylon Fibre (Textile Waste) Reinforced Concrete

Abstract :

Plain concrete possess very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to the propagation of such micro cracks. Fibres, when added to a certain percentage in the concrete improve the strain properties as well as crack resistance, ductility, as flexure strength and toughness. The present paper outlines the experimental investigation conducts on the use of nylon fibre waste material of diameter 0.3mm and length of 45mm, having an aspect ratio of around 150 was employed in percentage 0.5 to 1.5 percentage by weight in concrete and property like compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength were studied and synthetic nylon waste to be disposed considerably.
