Abstract

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a concrete with enhanced fresh properties that allows pouring without external compaction. Its advantages also are extended to good segregation resistance, higher homogeneity, lower permeability, which among others, lead to a product with higher durability. In this study self-Compacting-Concrete containing steel fiber offer improvements on strength parameters of self-compacting concrete for M-30 grade of concrete using steel fiber. The main objective of this project has to find out the effect of steel fiber on fresh and harden properties of Non-conventional self-compacting concrete. The use of fibers extends its possibilities since fibers arrest cracks and retard their propagation. In this investigation Mix proportion of concrete was 1:1.67:1.31 and maintaining water cement ratio of 0.6 in order to study the compressive strength, Split tensile strength, flexural strength, of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) containing fibers of 1%, by volume of cement. The flexural and split tensile strength of becomes higher compared with the conventional concrete. The non-conventional SCC with demolished aggregate is less costly than the conventional concrete.
