摘要：Utilization of recycled aggregates in the production of concrete is now given lot ofemphasis as it is viewed as an effective waste management practice, which cansubstantially contribute for the reduction of environmental deterioration. At the sametime this is a cost effective technology saving natural resources. Recycled AggregateConcrete (RAC) is now being used in many sectors of the construction industry. Though,lot of research has been reported on RAC, very little information is available about theeffect of using recycled aggregate in the production of Fibre Reinforced Concrete(FRC). This paper presents the results of experimentation conducted to evaluate thestrength and permeability characteristics of FRC produced with recycled coarse andfine aggregates. Three types of fibres viz., steel, glass and polypropylene were used inthe production of FRC. Compressive, tensile, flexural and shear strengths of FibreReinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete (FRRAC) have been evaluated from theexperimentation. Chloride ion permeability has been determined as measure ofpermeability of FRRAC. The results of the study show that recycled coarse and fineaggregates can be successfully used in production of fibre reinforced concrete.
