2 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CURRENT TRENDS IN TECHNOLOGY, ‘NUiCONE – 2010’ to assist in producing workability and uniformity. In this investigation locally available river sand is used which is free from organic impurities. The specific gravity of this fine aggregate was found to be 2.62 and the fineness modulus was 2.86. The percentage of passing is within the limits as per IS383-1970 [10] and IS 2386-1963[12]. Sand is confirming to zone II. S.

The coarse aggregate used here is 20mm in size, crushed angular shape and free from dust. The specific gravity and fineness modulus was found to be 2.80 and 7.007 respectively. The percentage of passing is within the limits as per IS383-1970[10] and IS 2386-1963[12]. TABLE III SIEVE ANALYSIS OF COARSE AGGREGATE S.

MIXING AND CASTING Mixing has to done carefully so that the uniform dispersion of fibers and prevent the segregation or balling of the fibers. The present experimental study of HDPE fiber includes testing of specimens for compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths. Specimens are prepared using design mix with HDPE percentages starting from 0.5 to 6% with an increment of 0.5 by volume of concrete. Cubes 150 X 150 X 150 mm, cylinders with 150φ X 300mm and beams of size
