Comparison of Self Compacted Concrete with Steel Fiber & Polypropylene Fiber

Madhura M. Pawade, Hemant B. Dahake

Abstract :

Self-compacting concrete is categorized as high-performance concrete that has excellent deformability in the fresh state & high resistance to segregation and can be placed and compacted under its self-weight without applying vibration. The use of self-compacting concrete eliminates the need for compaction, which has benefits related to economic production, durability, structural performance, and working circumstances self-compacting concrete is able to transport fibers that can replace in some structure’s conventional reinforcement. By taking into account tailor-made concrete characteristics, new fields of structural application can be explored. The potential for improved performance of fibers in self-compacting concrete. In flexural tests, significant differences were observed between conventional and self-compacting concrete at a given fiber type and dosage concerning the variation of results and the flexural performance. Mechanical testing and image studies on concrete cross-sections indicate how the flow influences the performance, the orientation, and the distribution of the orientation of fibers. The comparison between polypropylene fiber concrete and steel fiber concrete is pointed out.
