Experimental Study of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Casted with Treated Sewage Effluent

Abstract

This study deals with the Performance of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Casted with Treated Sewage Effluent with respect to potable water. The study investigates the water quality of tests like ph, dissolve oxygen, chlorine content, alkanity test, COD, BOD with respect to normal water and treated sewage effluent. The sample of treated sewage effluent is collected from the sewage treatment plant which constructed in our premises. Concrete is an artificial material in which the arrangements both fine and coarse aggregate are bonded together by the cement when mixed with water.  The concrete has become so popular and indispensable because of its inherent characteristics and advantages either when green or hardened. The use of reinforcement in concrete brought a revolution in application of concrete. Concrete has unlimited opportunities for innovative application, design and construction techniques. It has been found that different type of fibers added in specific percentage to concrete Improves the strength properties of the structure. It is now established that one of the important properties of Fiber Reinforced Concrete. As per the available literature some author says that the using treated sewage effluent in concrete results gain in strength with compare to potable water, but no experiment done with fiber reinforced concrete casted by treated sewage effluent that is why we are preceding this study.
