Effect of twisted soft drink can waste fiber on the frc flexural behavior

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a material consisting of concrete with reinforcement and additional fibers in the manufacturing process. Fiber can be either natural fiber or artificial fiber. Fiber is added to reinforced concrete to increase its flexural strength and ductility. The present development is using waste material as fiber in FRC. Waste material is used as fiber not only to reducing waste problems but also to find new materials that are cost-effective and can increase the strength of concrete. One of the weaknesses of FRC is the weak bonding between fiber and cement, therefore this research was carried out using plain soft drink can waste fiber and twisted soft drink can waste fiber. The specimens are FRC beams and flexural test is carried out. From the research, it is known that twisted fiber provides better performance than plain fiber, both in flexural strength and ductility.
