Abstract
Specimens of concrete were cast and subjected to testing for their compressive and split tensile strengths at various curing ages of 14, 28, and 56 days. After curing for 28 days, loading was applied in a controlled manner to initiate cracks, and the recovery in strength was investigated at additional curing ages of 14, 28, and 56 days.
Among all the combinations, it was found that the concrete containing 1.0% of nylon fibre performed better in terms of having high compressive and tensile strengths and maximum strength gain after healing. It can be concluded from this study that fibre-reinforced quaternary blended concrete performs well in mechanical terms.
Keywords: Quaternary blended concrete, nylon fibre reinforced concrete, crystalline admixture, self-healing concrete, compressive strength, split tensile strength, sustainable concrete, Alccofine.
