Abstract

The main intension of the present experimental case is to study the fallout of Silica Fume restoration on Durability properties. Effect of combined application of polypropylene fibre and silica fume on water absorption test (Durability Test). Dosage of Silica Fume is 5%, 10% and 15% by the weight of cement. Dosage of Polypropylene Fibre used are 0.25%, 0.5% of the total weight of the Cube. Water absorption test on the cubes was done for 28 days. It is observed that Water Absorption for the Control Concrete is 4.21%. The Water Absorption for the Concrete with Silica Fume and Polypropylene Fiber is minimum when correlated to Control Concrete. Least percentage in Gain of Weight is 2.97% for Concrete with 10% Silica Fume and 0.5% Polypropylene Fiber.
