An Experimental Study to Check Compressive Strength of Concrete by Using Jute Fibers as Reinforcement
An experimental study of jute fiber concrete for compressive strength of concrete is carried out for making a good building material in terms of reinforcement. Jute fiber is environmental-friendly and economical fiber. The slump value and compressive strength of specimens were carried out for three different fractions of jute fiber contents by volume. The slump value decreased sharply with increase in fiber content. The results of the compression test indicated that the presence of jute fiber tends to reduce the compressive strength of concrete at higher fiber content. Despite the reduction in the compressive strength at higher jute fiber content, there is an improvement of compressive strength at low jute fiber content.
