2. SCOPE: Steel is the most widely used reinforcement in concrete.
Use of steel reinforcement is to increase the tensile and shear strength of concrete.
In order to increase flexural and tensile strength the additional fibers are used in construction field

3. OBJECTIVE: The fiber offers high flexural strength and light weight
fibers are used to resist corrosion resistance material
Fiber have high ductility and durability
Fibers have chemical resisting capacity

4. INTRODUCTION
It is a type of concrete that is reinforced with carbon fibers so it’s also known as “Carbon Reinforced Concrete”.
It is a new highly stressable lightweight composite construction that combines special fine grain ultra high-strength concrete and carbon fibers.
It has higher strength than steel with quarter of its weight.

5. Carbocrete:
Composed of carbon atoms bonded together to form a long chain.
A super strong material that's also extremely lightweight.
Five times stronger than steel , Two times stiffer , and about Two-Third times less in weight.

6. Carbocrete Mixing Method
Methods:
Dry mix
Wet mix

7. Carbon Fibers vs. Steel Up to 75% lighter More durable/corrosion-free
5 times higher tensile strength
2 times higher stiffness
Higher temperature tolerance

8. Carbocrete Mix Design

9. METHODOLOGY Literature collection
Material collection from thermal & steel industries
Casting of test specimens with and without cement
Curing of specimens
Testing of specimen for the strength properties
Test results
Comparison of test results
Discussion of topics
Conclusion
