Performance of Carbon Steel- Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete

The effect of carbon steel fibers and polypropylene fibers on self compacting concrete was studied in this paper. The self compacting concrete is a concrete that can be placed and compacted by its own weight. Self compacting concrete provides several economic and technical benefits and the use of fibers in self compacting concrete extents its possibility. Various researchers were performed the slump flow test, compressive strength test and flexural strength test to study the effect of fibers on fresh and harden properties of self compacting concrete. Polypropylene- carbon steel fiber reinforce self compacting concrete shows 29.36 % increase in compressive strength when compared to the control mix because it obtain benefits from both fibers. Maximum flexure strength with use of both fibers in self compacting concrete can be achieve at 0.1 % use of polypropylene fibers and 1.0% carbon steel fibers as 71.58 %.
