| Summary: | This report basically discusses the research done and basic understanding of the chosen
topic, which is High Tensile Strength Concrete. The objective of this project is to
produce a concrete that can resist high tensile stress since concrete is known very weak
in tensile. The factor affecting tensile strength and the suitable test to determine the
concrete tensile strength are discussed in this report. All methods in conducting the
project are explained consist of the project plan, lab works and calculation needed.
Tests such as split tensile test, flexural test and compression test to study the effect of
different size of aggregate towards the tensile strength of concrete are explained. All
result obtain from the tests are discussed mainly regarding the effect of different
aggregate size towards concrete strength and at the same time how Silane Coupling
Agent (SCA) behave as water repellent to the aggregates. The conclusion and
recommendation section summarized all works that have been done through out the
semester and recommend suitable solution that might increase the strength of concrete
in tension for further action in the next semester. |
