500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note ABSTRACT<br/><br/><br/>In construction industry concrete plays an important role but it has low<br/>efficiency to sustain tensile stresses, brittle mode of failure, cracks<br/>propagation etc. To overcome these problems ordinary steel reinforcement is<br/>most popular mechanism which is being used: in addition to that, various<br/>types of fibers are being used, after extensive research.<br/>This research study focuses on the use of jute fibers extracted from used<br/>burlaps in concrete with different proportions to improve the strength of<br/>plain concrete, a number of specimen were cast to study indirect tensile and<br/>compressive strength behavior.<br/>The concrete mix was prepared with the addition of jute fibers by dry weight<br/>with 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, and 3.5%. Test results show<br/>that compressive strength of concrete increases up to 30.67% . With the<br/>addition of jute fibers from 0.5% to 2.0%. Whereason further addition of<br/>jute fibers in the mix, the compressive strength of concrete decreases.<br/>Indirect Tensile strength test results shows that tensile strength of concrete<br/>increases up to 24.12% with the addition of jute fibers from 0.5 % to 2.0%<br/>'*here as on further addition of jute fibers the tensile strength of concrete<br/>It was found that workability of concrete mix decreases with the addition of<br/>jute fibers more than 1.5%.<br/>However the optimum fiber content seems to be 1.5% as that proportion<br/>improves compressive strength up to 28.46%, while tensile strength up to<br/>21.86% as compared to virgin concrete and mix remain workable.<br/><br/>xiv<br/>
