Abstract

Even though concrete has achieved considerable progress in material science and construction technology, still it is having its own limitations, viz concrete cannot flow past obstructions into nooks and crannies. Thorough compaction is required to get enough strength and durability of concrete. Self-compacting concrete is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that can be spread into place, fill the formwork and hold to the reinforcement without any mechanical compaction. Compared to ordinary concrete self-compacting concrete increases the workability and durability. Fibres may be used to enhance the properties of self-compacting concrete such as flexural strength and tensile strength of concrete. Fibres such as glass, polymer, steel, synthetic, natural etc… are used in Fibre-reinforced self- compacting concrete. Steel fibres are used to enhance mechanical characteristics such as flexural strength and toughness. Polymer fibres may be used to reduce segregation and plastic shrinkage or to increase fire resistance. Advantages of Fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete are an increase in durability, arrest the cracks, increase in energy absorption, reduces sudden failures etc… Various fresh property tests conducted for self-compacting concrete are V-funnel, U-funnel, L-box and flow test(as per EFNARC guidelines). Hardened state tests are compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.
