Effect of Steel Fibre on Mechanical Properties of Metakaolin-Mixed Concrete
An experiment was done to study the effect of metakaolin (MK) used as mineral admixture and its impact on the mechanical properties of MK-mixed concrete (MKMC) with and without the use of hooked steel fibre (SF). The present investigation was performed on referral concrete of M30 grade mix concrete. MKMC was made using OPC alone as control cube and using MK in place of cement by 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The parameters of fresh properties of concrete such as slump of concrete and hardened properties of mixed concrete such as compressive strength (CS) at 7, 28 and 56 days, split tensile strength (STS) at 28 days and flexural strength (FS) at 28 days with partial replacement of cement by MK with and without the use of SF were studied. After optimizing, the effect of inclusion of SF was also studied for CS (7, 28 and 56 days), STS (28 days) and FS (28 days) in referral as well as the MKMC. SF is added to 0.0, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.25% by volume. It was found that substitution of cement by MK and the inclusion of SF shows better performance than referral concrete.
