Planning and Analysis of G+2 Residential Building and Design of Slab and Beam with Sisal Fiber Polymer Reinforcement

The use of steel has been a vital factor in the construction industry since ages. But steel manufacturing has a variety of adverse environmental effects, including air pollutants (CO, SO2, NO2), wastewater contaminants, hazardous wastes, and solid wastes. Approximately, steel manufacturing releases 1.83 tons of carbon dioxide for every ton of metal produced, making it a major contributor to global warming, resulting for about 3.3 million tons of CO2 emissions yearly. Also, in concrete structures where the clear cover is small and subjected to external moisture and salt action, the reinforcement undergoes reaction and starts to corrode. The use of fiber as a reinforcement in concrete, mortar, and cement paste can improve several of the basic materials’ engineering properties, such as fracture toughness, flexural strength, and durability against fatigue, impact, thermal shock, and spalling. Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) used as replacement for the reinforcement in concrete structures have shown satisfactory results on the strength and durability. This invention deals with the planning, analysis, and design of a G + 2 residential building along with the design and analysis of slab and beam with sisal fiber polymer reinforcement (SiFRP) and glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). As the presence of porous in sisal fiber works as traps and impeded the heat transfer to SiFRP, it slightly increases the performance than GFRP when replaced by steel in beams and slabs.
