Abstract
This research work has been focused on the durability measurements by aggressive environmental conditions have systematically evaluated. By the addition of steel fibres at a constant dosage level of 1.5% (Vf) along with slag replaced to cement (OPC) at 10%, 20% and 30% of total binder content. Accelerated corrosion test, the sodium chloride solution were immersed up to 3% for various mixes after that all the samples for being the alternate wetting and drying cycle before each specimen were applied the load at 40% and 60% of total failure load. Further, this process was continuous for six months. The laboratory test results shown around 20% were significantly reduced the deterioration effects and also noted that the maximum strength reduction under 40% of stress concrete for alternative wetting and drying test value up to 11.40% in the case of reference concrete at 180 days than compared to other mixes at different curing days. It is predominantly against the corrosion effects in slag (supplementary cementitious materials) based fibre concretes due to usage of the anti-corrosion agent when compared to reference concrete for various mixes.
