Study on Fresh and Hardened Properties of Self Compacting Concrete Using Macro Synthetic Fibers and Manufacture Sand

Abstract

            Expand efficiency and improved workplace has high need in the advancement of solid development in the course of the most recent decade. The significant impact on the Self consolidating or self compacting concrete (SCC) is preferred substitution for conventional concrete. Industry is constantly looking for new innovations in concrete mix design and has been using the aforementioned components independently for some time. It is believed that by incorporating the two items self consolidating concrete and fibers, the benefits of each will translate to create a concrete that is better than using only one of its parts. However research has been done on incorporating fibers in self consolidating concrete mix and their influence on fresh and hardened properties. Workplace is essentially enhanced due to elimination of vibration, reducing noise frequency and improves strength of concrete. Also, SCC innovation has improved the presentation regarding solidified solid properties like strength durability and surface quality. The main aim of this project to evaluates the fresh and hardened properties of SCC in the presence of macro synthetic fiber. In this experimental work, replacement of cement with mineral admixtures was kept at 35% in manufacturing of SCC. The replacement of cement with class F fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) was made at different proportions. Manufactured sand (M sand) is used as fine aggregate and dosage of macro synthetic fibers is used at 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% to volume of concrete.
