In the extant experimental investigation a mix design high strength concrete of M60 is tried using triple blending technique with ternary blend of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and Metakaolin (MK) as partial replacement by weight of cement at various blended percentages ranging between 0% – 30% and with steel and glass fibers having aspect ratio of 80 and 150 are added at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2% as total fiber percentages. The results of fiber reinforced concrete specimens with various percentages of ternary blends are comparing with control specimen to study the performance of FRC properties with various percentages of the blends as partial replacement by of cement.

INTRODUCTION Over the past several decades, extensive research work is in progress throughout the globe in concrete technology in finding alternative materials which can partially or fully replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and which can also meet the requirements of strength and durability aspects. Amongst the many alternative materials tried as partial cement replacement materials, the strength, workability and durability performance of industrial by products like flyash, blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaolin, rice husk ash,etc., now termed as complimentary cementitious materials (CCM) are quite promising. Subsequently, these have led to the development of binary, ternary and tertiary blended concretes depending on the number of CCM and their combinations used as partial cement replacement materials. 1.2 TRIPLE BLENDED CONCRETE(TBC) Triple blended cement is characterised by part replacement of cement with mineral admixtures/additives such as pozzolanic admixtures (fly ash, silica fume, granulated slag etc.) or inert fillers. The corresponding concrete is termed as triple blended concrete. These admixtures are found to enhance the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the concrete i.e. in terms of its strength parameters (compressive and flexural) as well as durability parameters. 1.3 Objective The main objective of this experimental investigation is to study the performance evaluation of ternary blended hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. For the study, ternary blend (GGBS+MK) is chosen, in which 30% of cement is replaced by ternary blends in different proportions such as (30+0), (25+5),(20+10), (15+15), (10+20), (5+25) and (0+30). The strength characteristics such as compressive strength, tensile strength are studied. The work is carried out on fibre hybridization of (MK+GGBS) on M60 grade of concrete 1.4 Materials used In this experimental study, Cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water, steel fibers and glass fibers, GGBS and metakaolin are used. Cement: Ordinary Portland cement of 53 grade was used in this experiment conforming to I.S12269:1987 Coarse aggregates: Locally available, maximum size 20 mm, specific gravity 2.60 Sand: Locally available sand zone I with specific gravity 2.60, water absorption 1% conforming to I.S. – 383-1970. Water: Potable water was used for the experiment. Chemical admixture: Super plasticizer Metakaolin: It is supplied by Twenty Microns company Vadodhara. Metakaolin is obtained from the calcinations of kaolinitic clays at temperatures in the range of 700 - 8000 C. GGBS: Low calcium, ground granulated blast furnace slag from the ACC cement plant, Kudithini, Hospet. Steel fibers: Crimped (L=35mm, thickness=1mm) Glass fibers: 15mm lengths were used.
