Abstract:- The aim of this experimental study is to determine the strength of galvanized iron (G.I) sheet encased concrete and sorptivity. In recent years G.I tube encased to concrete have been widely studied for their use in the civil infra structure.G.I sheets of two varying thicknesses are used. Generally concrete has high strength properties, even though it has high strength it undergone damage because of its porous nature. Sorptivity test for concrete cube is done to determine its water absorbing capacity. Electrical oven is used for distribute the temperature to the G.I encased concrete cylinders.The cylinders are kept in oven at different temperatures of 100c, 150c, 200c, and 250c with the time periods of 5hrs. Experimental tests are conducted for determining the strength of G.I encased concrete after temperature distribution and Sorptivity for cover concrete.

1.3 Hot air oven

General

Concrete columns are fundamental structural

component in engineering structures. The G.I encased concrete cylinders are increasingly becoming important in infrastructure because the G.I tube serve as stay in place formwork during construction and provide confinement during service, in addition to the resistance to corrosion upto ambient temperatures.

G.I encased concrete are releasing the moisture content and odour. This type of concrete are does not release any fumes. This G.I encased concrete also used for high rise buildings and bridges. Because of gives the better corrosion resistant and good appearance. The galvanised iron is easily available material.

It will further cause decomposition of G.I as a result, the G.I will lose their confinement effect and the concrete concrete will collapse. It has been found that burning process is complex and non linear so, we will use the electrical oven for distributing the temperature with the time period of 5hrs group of temperature are 100,150,200 and 250c.

Temperature increasing stage will cause using their strength properties and load carrying capacity. The purpose of this study is to understand the temperature distributions and residual strength of G.I tube encased concrete cylinders through experimental testing.

1.2 G.I sheet

G.I sheet forms metallurgical bond between zinc and steel (or) iron creating a barrier to prevent itself from getting rusty as easily. It is an essential component of roofs, panel, electric appliance and machine parts.

   Methodology

   • Concrete contains cement, water C.A and

     F.A. The cubes, cylinders and prism samples were cast on the mouldin their required size with a water cement ratio as 0.50.

   • The cylinders were heated with different temperatures of 100ºc,150 ºc,200 ºc and 250 ºcwith the time period of 5 hours for compressive strength test.

   • Sorptivity test for unsaturated concrete
