Abstract

Hybrid Fiber Strengthened Cement (HFSC) is tested for mobility, crushing, cleavage tensile, and bending with varying fiber ratios. The research seeks the best steel-to-PVA filament ratio for HFRC robustness. Slump cone and compaction factor experiments tested HFRC feasibility. High-range water reducers evaluated new concrete compositions' agility and homogeneity. Slump ratings were satisfactory, showing movement. Densification coefficient decreased controllability with amalgamated filaments. To measure compressive strength, cubes were wet and surface-dried at different curing phases. Amalgamated filaments improved compression. High-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC) mixes with 0.75% steel and 0.25% PVA filament had the maximum compressive strength. At varied solidifying intervals, cylindrical samples were compressive tested. Cement was weaker than HFRC mixtures. Amalgamated filaments had the maximum compressive effectiveness. Amalgamated filaments strengthened cylindrical samples. High-performance fiber-reinforced concrete with 0.75% steel filament and 0.25% polyvinyl alcohol filament achieved the greatest split tensile strength. Amalgamated filaments strengthened rectangular parallelepiped samples. High-performance fiber-reinforced concrete with 0.75% steel filament and 0.25% polyvinyl alcohol filament exhibited the maximum bending resistance. Studies show Al amalgamated filaments boost cement potency. 0.75% metal filament and 0.25% polyvinyl alcohol filament in high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete improve crushing, cleavage, and bending. HFRC combinations' compressive, cleavage, and bending potencies are related in the research's observational formulations.
