Abstract
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is usually referred as flowable concrete which can consolidate without having segregation of aggregates. It uses chemical and mineral admixtures to achieve its properties. The present experimental study investigates the influence of glass fibres with varying proportions (i.e. 0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% by weight of cement) on rheological and mechanical properties of fly-ash-based self-consolidating concrete. The experiments were conducted by considering water–powder ratio of 0.3656. The guidelines of EFNARC were followed for the mix designing of SCC. Fresh properties were determined by L-Box, Slump Flow and V-Funnel tests and hardened properties were assessed by 28th day compressive, flexural and split tensile strength tests.KeywordsGlass fibreFly ashSuperplasticizerSelf-consolidating concrete
