Experimental Study of Concrete With Steel Mesh As Reinforcement And Value Added Materials

Abstract

Concrete is a product obtained by mixing the ingredients in a planned definite proportion so that the resulting concrete is satisfactory in meeting the need for the job for which it is meant. Concrete is a widely used construction material due to many advantages relating to strength aspects. It is absolutely indispensable in modern society’s fascination and infrastructure development. Innovations on this construction material are constantly being made to suit different conditions and applications. With the use of wire mesh in concrete, there could be increase in the strength of concrete viz compression, tension and flexure. This study relates the variation in the strength.
