Abstract

An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the viability of hybrid fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite (ECC) containing stone industry waste. Three different profiles of fibers (polyvinyl alcohol, polyester and micro steel fiber) and stone industry powder waste (SSP) were poured in various ECC mixes to prepare low cost and sustainable ECC matrices. Nowadays the use of aggregates in construction materials has increased manifolds, which is the major contributor of natural resources depletion and hazardous impact on environment. The utilization of SSP can help in saving natural resources and the environment. The hybrid usage of the aforementioned fibers, the addition of stone industry waste as subrogation of micro silica sand (MSS) and fine river sand (FRS) at different percentages greatly help in the saving of natural resources and costs. In the current study to check the viability of hybrid fibers, stone industry waste, MSS, and FRS, total twelve ECC matrices were prepared in two different phases. The current research work also focuses on checking the viability of these constituents in ECC matrices under different environmental conditions; to make sustainable cement products. Compressive response, tensile performance, flexural characteristics, air permeability, electrical resistivity, sorptivity, environmental, economic performance and effect of chemical immersion were firmly recorded to analyze the performance of various mixes. Recorded results revealed that hybridization of fibers and addition of stone industry waste individually and in combination contribute to enhance the strength, deformation capacity and durability parameters. Ecological parameters from current study showed that the inclusion of stone waste helped in preparing green ECC mixtures by saving the cost (up to 43.2%), natural resources, and significant reduction in CO2 emissions (628.4 kg CO2 − eq/kg to 593.7 kg CO2 − eq/kg).
