Effect of Different Type of Steel Fibre and Aspect Ratio on Mechanical Properties of Self Compacted Concrete

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the use of varied steel fibers with different aspect ratio in structural concrete to enhance the mechanical properties of self compacted concrete(SCC). The objective of the study is to determine and do the comparative study of the properties of concrete containing no fibers and concrete with fibers, as well as the comparison on the effects of different type and aspect ratio of fibers to the self compacted concrete. This investigation was carried out using several tests, which included workability tests of SCC, compressive test, indirect tensile test and flexural test.
