Publisher's Synopsis
Reinforced Concrete cement pipes are widely used for water main sewers, culvert and in irrigation. This research review the strengthening of RCC precast concrete pipe using Alkali Resistant Glass Fiber and comparative study between the conventional RCC pipe and modified AR Glass Reinforced RCC pipe regarding Strength, Crack control aspects in Precast RCC pipes. The present research work focused on the behavior of Alkali Resistant Glass fiber on RCC precast pipe by mixing the Alkali Resistant Glass fiber in various percentages into the concrete mix. Experimental investigation provided the necessary recommendation's for adoption of Modified Alkali Resistant Glass Fiber RCC pipe . Results show that the composite structures possess good strength, cracking control and ultimate capacity.
