Mechanical Properties of Steel Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete
摘要
This study investigates the mechanical properties of steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SCC), focusing on its strength, workability, and performance under axial loading. Fiber-reinforced SCC exhibits improved strength and durability compared to conventional concrete. Experimental work was conducted using OPC 53-grade concrete, with compressive strength and flexural strength evaluated at 14 and 28 days. Eight trial mixes of M40-grade were performed, including SCC conventional and SCC steel fibre-reinforced concrete. This analysis aimed to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the analytical predictions against experimental results, providing insights into the performance of steel fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete under axial loading. The flow properties of SCC were assessed using Flow Table, V-funnel, L-box, and U-box tests following IS code provisions, ensuring optimal performance and mix consistency. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the behavior of steel fiberreinforced SCC and its potential applications in civil engineering.
