Abstract |
|
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is becoming a popular choice in concrete industry due to ease of placement in congested reinforcements, reduced labor and equipment, no segregation character and smooth surface. Fly ash has been used in producing SCC which increases filling and passing ability of the concrete. In this study the sisal fibers were used to reinforce self-compacting concrete. This study investigates how the inclusion of sisal fiber of varying quantities, in SCC affects the flowability and performance in hardened state. The flow characteristics were assessed by considering slump flow, V-funnel and J-ring test and the mechanical properties were found using compression, flexural and Impact test. |
