Behavior of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Self-compacting Concrete

Abstract

In this study, steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) samples were examined by considering the effects of different proportions of steel fibers on the material presentation and to assistance the use of fiber materials in building construction industry. Nowadays, the application of steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) in the construction of structural components is gotten as an alternate solution to the obstacle in placing the reinforcement and compaction of generally vibrated concrete. The important benefit of SFRSCC is the capability to be correctly poured in place, filling the formwork junctions and small voids between reinforcement bars by means of its own weight. Various researches had been implemented on structural performance of SFRSCC due to the boosted engineering and mechanical properties. The use of steel fibers in the mix improves the hardened properties of self-compacting concrete in terms of its compressive strength, tensile strength, ductility, toughness, energy absorption capacity, and shear resistance as well. The objective of this paper is to observe the performance of SFRSCC in building structures. And these paper emphases on the design mix for SFRSCC, mix design principle and experimental analysis are carried out on self-compacting steel fiber-reinforced concrete.
