Abstract

High-early-strength fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (FRSCC) is a practical material for the precast concrete industry to double its production capacity. This study developed high-early-strength FRSCC mixtures that achieved a compressive and flexural strength of at least 24 MPa and 3.5 MPa, respectively, at 6 h, using commercially available components, typical mixing procedures, and air curing. A mix design process was developed based on the literature and experimental results. The effect of six different fiber reinforcements on the fresh and mechanical properties of concrete was analyzed. The cost limit was set at 523 USD/m3 to make the concrete mix cost-effective.
