AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF HYBRID FIBER REINFORCED SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

Abstract

The concrete is one of the most recognized society development materials in the construction industry. Today’s challenge in the construction field is to improvise the strength and durability characteristics of concrete. Usually, the concrete is innovated by appropriating most popular supplements for the ingredients of concrete. In this study, the impact of metal (steel) and polypropylene fibers on the strength features of self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been analyzed. Self - Compacting Concrete may compact with the help of its own weight and is a viscous concrete mixture with no segregation. From the density and strength results of the experimental analysis, the mix and dose combination of superplasticizer and VMA to obtain better quality of Self Compacting concrete was selected.
