Abstract

In this study, we studied the effect of Nano Fe2O3 on the compressive strength of Fiber reinforced concrete, for this purpose, we used cubic samples of 10 Cm with four different by weight of cement contents (0, 1, 2 and 4%, respectively). The cement contents of the concrete (including 300 kg/m3) and fiber (Polypropylene) volume fraction 0.2% by weight of cement were considered. The water-cement ratio in binder (sum of the cement and nanoparticles) in all mixtures was equal to 0.45. The effect of the Nano Fe2O3 on the strength of Fiber reinforced concrete was assessed by measuring the compressive strength after 7 and 28 days. The results showed that Nano Fe2O3 particles improve concrete strength and significantly affected on the compressive strength of the Fiber reinforced concrete.
