Hardened Properties

The High strength concrete defined as per IS 456 as the concrete having characteristic compressive strength more than 65 MPa. The self-compacting concrete has lot of advantages including concreting at congested reinforcement locations, better finish, good compaction etc. The inclusion of fibers in the concrete mix decreases the brittle nature of concrete thereby the ductility increases. Different types of fibers are available for inclusion in concrete like steel, glass, polypropylene, basalt, etc. In the present investigation, high strength concrete having characteristic strength of 90 MPa was developed and hooked ended steel fibers are used and the hardened properties are determined. Steel fibers having diameter of 1 mm and lengths of 25 and 50 mm were added to concrete in 0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5% by volume of concrete. Three hardened properties compressive strength, split tensile Strength and flexural strength were determined. Out of the two lengths of fiber i.e with two aspect ratios, the fiber with 50 mm length yielded better results.

This research is a comparative study, the use of carbon fiber and steel fiber for Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). In previous studies, it was proven that the addition of steel fibers can increase the compressive and tensile strength of SCC. While carbon fiber is one of the most widely used materials for structural reinforcement in recent years. Therefore it is necessary to do a comparative study of the use of carbon fiber if applied to SCC. The percentage increase in carbon fiber and steel is 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. Then do the testing of: slump test, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. The results showed the optimal percentage of steel fiber addition of 1.5%, can increase the compressive strength of SCC by 11%. However carbon fiber and steel do not increase the tensile strength of SCC, and tend to reduce flexural strength. Other results show that carbon fiber is not suitable for use in SCC.

The main objectives of this study were investigating the effects of the maximum size of coarse Attapulgite aggregate and micro steel fiber content on fresh and some mechanical properties of steel fibers reinforced lightweight self-compacting concrete (SFLWSCC). Two series of mixes were used depending on maximum aggregate size (12.5 and 19) mm, for each series three different steel fibers content were used (0.5 %, 1%, and 1.5%). To evaluate the fresh properties, tests of slump flow, T500 mm, V funnel time, and J ring were carried out. Tests of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, and calculated equilibrium density were done to evaluate mechanical properties. For reference mixes, the results showed that mixes with a larger maximum aggregate size of 19 mm exhibited better fresh properties, while mechanical properties negatively affected by using a larger maximum aggregate size. The results also showed that using steel fibers led to negative effects on fresh properties, especially with higher steel fibers content and larger maximum aggregate size. The marginal effect of steel fibers on compressive strength was noticed, while for both splitting and flexural tensile strength, significant increase was obtained with increasing of steel fibers content. The properties of SFLWSCC in the fresh state had a considerable effect on mechanical properties, whereas with the best fresh properties, the best mechanical properties can be obtained.

The present investigation is mainly focused on study the temperature effects on SCC reinforced with steel fibers on M40 grade of concrete. The main objective of the investigation is inspired from the real world - to know the strength of a concrete after subjected to an elevated temperature. Steel fibres with an aspect ratio of 40varied at a fibre dosage of 0, 1, and 1.5%by the weight of the cement used in this investigation. In this study concrete is exposed to five different residual conditions. In addition to the room temperature there are four different temperatures of 100˚c, 300˚c, 500˚c and 800˚c are considered at a retention period of 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours in muffle furnace. Compressive strength conducted after 28 days of curing. From the experimental results it is observed that SCC with steel fibres reduced the workability on the contrary there is increase in compressive strength observed with the addition of fibres. It is also observed that SCC with steel fibres has shown the better performance compared to control mix at elevated temperatures. This is mainly due to fibres are participated in delaying the cracks.

Good Outcome

The introduction of self-compacting concrete in the construction industry overcomes the flaws caused due to the improper compaction of concrete. Fibers are proved to increase the properties of conventional concrete. This research focuses on the performance of self-compacting concrete after augmenting steel fibers. The steel fibers are added in proportions such as 0.25 percentage, 0.5 percentage, 0.75 percentage and 1 percentage. After casting the self- compacting concrete, the strength was assessed for 7 days and 28 days and its compressive strength and split tensile strength was analyzed. The inclusion of steel fibers yielded good outcome in the tests and it is proved to yield better engineering properties.

This study investigated the combine effect of 0.2 % drink cans and steel fibers with volume fractions of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% to the mechanical properties and impact resistance of concrete. Hooked-end steel fiber with 30 mm and 0.75 mm length and diameter, respectively was selected for this study.  The drinks cans fiber were twisted manually in order to increase friction between fiber and concrete. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the strength performance of concrete, especially the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength. The results of the experiment showed that the combination of steel fibers and drink cans fibers improved the compressive strength, flexural strength and indirect tensile strength by 2.3, 7, and 2 times as compare to batch 1, respectively. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete has increase by 7 times as compared to non-fiber concretes. Moreover, the impact resistance of fiber reinforced concrete consistently gave better results as compared to non-fiber concretes. The fiber reinforced concrete turned more ductile as the dosage of fibers was increased and ductility started to decrease slightly after optimum fiber dosage was reached. It was found that concrete with combination of 2% steel and 0.2% drink cans fibers showed the highest compressive, split tensile, flexural as well as impact strength.
