Guide Miss.K.Kaviya Lecturer/Civil Engineering ABSTRACT This project deals with the effect of locally available lathe waste steel fibre in the M30 Grade of concrete. The plain concrete posses very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in the concrete and its poor tensile strength is due to the propagation of such micro cracks, evenly leading to brittle fracture of the concrete. To avoid the disadvantage of the plain cement concrete . An experimental study has been conducted with the lathe waste of 0.5% and 1% to the total volume of mix to enhance the compressive, flexural and split tensile strength of the concrete. By using this lathe waste steel fibre in the concrete, the behavior efficiency of this composite material is far superior to that plain cement concrete and it improves strength of concrete. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of lathe waste on the properties of concrete using M30 grade of concrete.
SCOPE 1. The main scope of our project is to determine the properties concrete using with and without of lathe waste fibres. 2. While adding the lathe waste fiber in the concrete to reduce the internal micro cracks 3. By using lathe waste in the concrete leads to effective management of waste fibers. LITERATURE REVIEW Sekar.T . By adding the lathe waste fibres in the concrete it will increase the compressive strength and the split tensile strength of the concrete. Balasubramanian .K, et.al., The addition of lathe fibres to concrete effectively improves the shear strength of concrete. A fibers improves tensile stresses across crack surfaces. Tavakoli.M , Lathe waste Steel fibres plays an important role in concrete structures for example, reinforcing in PCC pavements holds cracks together reinforcement may also eliminate the use of joints in pavement-potentially producing a longer lasting, smoother riding surface. These same qualities are also desirable in reinforced concrete drainage structures. ensuring high aggregate interlock exists across the pavement. Lars Kutzing , The experimental results clarify the enormous influence of steel fibres on the shear capacity of slender beams. In further calculations various suggestions should be checked with regard to the applicability to the SFRC. Some new investigations concerning the calculation of fracture energy as well as the influence of fibres to the dowel action will be performed .The transfer to the punching behavior of SFRC plates will be done as well as some new applications for steel fibres reinforced concrete structures will be developed. In this case a connection between the ductile HPC columns and the above mentioned punching and shear phenomena would be desirable. Suggestions are already in the planning and will be introduced in following articles next year. Ganesh et,al,Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRS) is defined as a mortar or concrete, containing discontinuous discrete steel fibres, which are pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface. Steel fibres are incorporated in the concrete to improve its crack resistance, ductility, energy absorption and impact resistance characteristics. Steel fibre reinforced concrete has gained widespread use in applications such as the following: Rock slope stabilization and support of excavated foundations, often in conjunction with rock and soil anchor systems; Industrial floorings, road pavements, warehouses, Channel linings, protect bridge. abutments and stabilize debris flow prone creeks; Rehabilitation of reinforced concrete in structures MATERIAL AND MIX DESIGN MATERIAL AND METHODS: CEMENT: Standards consistency test ,Fineness test (By sieving), Specific gravity test , Lechatlier Expansion test for the 53 grade cement. FINE AGGREGATE: Locally available river sand was used as the fine aggregate, which as the particle size distribution corresponding to ZoneII. The specific gravity of sand was found to be 2.67, Sieve analysis of the fine aggregate , Specific gravity of fine aggregate test conducted. COURSE AGGREGATE Hard broken stones obtained from local quarry were used as coarse aggregate . The course aggregate was sieved in such way that aggregate passing through 20mm sieve and retained in 12.5mm sieve was used for the entire experimental work . The specific gravity of course aggregate was experimentally tested . MIX DESIGN FOR M30 GRADE OF CONCRETE WATER CEMENT FINE AGGREGATE COURSE AGGREGATE

3.34 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DIMENSION OF THE SPECIMENS In this experimental work, a total of 24 numbers of concrete specimens were cast with and without lathe waste steel fibres .The specimens considered in this study consisted of 18 numbers of 100mm side cube, 3 numbers of 150mm diameter and 300mm long cylinders and 3 numbers of 100mm x 100mm x 500mm size of beams. METHOD OF MIXING The nominal mix proportion used for casting 1: 1.16: 3.34 and water cement ratio of 0.45%.The lathe waste fibre of 0.5% and 1% to the specimens. Cement, sand and course aggregate were mixed in dry state using laboratory mixer and then fibre were added required quantity and mixed thoroughly. The testing of cubes was done 3, 7, 28, days of curing. And the cylinder and the beams are tested after 28 days of curing. CHAPTER-5 RESULT AND DISCUSSTION The test results are given in the form of graphs and tables. Table 5.1 shows the variation of strength of concrete by adding lathe waste fibre into the concrete.
When the lathe waste of 0.5% & 1% added to M30 grade of concrete it increases the compressive strength, split tensile strength, Flexural strength of the concrete members. Further more increase of the lathe waste fibres on the concrete witch leads to the increase of strength of concrete members.

It enhances the flexure and the split tensile strength of the concrete by increasing the lathe waste. Higher strength to weight ratio will be useful for the design of cost effective structure. Since the lathe waste fibre is better than the plain concrete SUGGESTION By using the lathe waste fibres on the concrete, it improves the compressive strength, split tensile, flexural strength. So it is suitable for industrial flooring and road pavement, etc.
