Hence in this research work study the behavior of ECC using polypropylene fiber incorporating with Fly ash. In the prepared mix design o%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% of polypropylene fiber is used. Also 30%, 40% and 50% Fly ash is replaced with cement. The experimental study is to present the effect of addition of polypropylene fiber and replacement of Fly ash with cement on the behavior of concrete under compressive and tensile test. Keywords: polypropylene fiber, ECC , fly ash, M20 mix design. I. INTRODUCTION Concrete is the most popular construction material, with more than 11.4 billion tons of concrete consumed annually worldwide. It has been reported that 2.2 billion tons of cement was produced in the year 2005. It was estimated that each ton of cement produced generates an equal amount of carbon dioxide, a major contributor for greenhouse effect and global warming. Ordinary Portland cement, though costly and energy intensive is the most widely used ingredient in the production of concrete mixes. Unfortunately, production of cement itself involves emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, a major contributor for greenhouse effect and global warming. Hence, it is inevitable either to search for another material or partly replace it by an alternate material. For example, Pozzolana is a natural or artificial material containing silica in a reactive form. It may be a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value. Pozzolana, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, reacts with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperature and form compounds possessing cementitious properties. Unlike some high performance FRC, ECC does not utilize large amounts of fiber. Also by deliberately limiting the amount of fibers, a number of proprietary studies have concluded economic feasibility of ECC in specific structural applications. Various fiber types can be used in ECC, but the detail composition must obey certain rules imposed by micromechanics considerations (Li, 1998; Kanda and Li, 1998). This means that the fiber, cementitious matrix, and theinterface (mechanical and geometric) properties must be of a correct combination in order to attain the unique behavior of ECCs. Thus ECC designs are guided by micromechanical principles. Most data so far has been collected on PVA-ECC (reinforced with PolyVinyl Alcohol fibers) and PE-ECC (reinforced with high modulus polyethylene fibers). II. LITERATURE REVIEW Ms. E. Ramya et.al [1] present the properties of ECC provides better properties in seismic resistance application. In this present work they investigate deflection and mechanical properties of ECC for different proportion of polypropylene fiber and compare with conventional concrete. Also find out the
