Abstract

To build high rise building by reducing column sizes and increase available space, to build the super structure of long span bridges and to the durability of bridge decks, a high strength is needed. High strength concrete was used in South Wacker in Chicago of 80 Mpa, Baynunah Tower in Abu Dhabi of 80 Mpa and Frankfurt Trianon in Germany of 125 Mpa. If high strength concrete is self-compacting, the production of densely reinforced building element from high strength concrete with high homogeneity would be an easy work. In the present experimental investigation, attempts are made to study the comparative study of flexural behaviour of High Strength hybrid fibre reinforced self compacting concrete beams of M 100 grade with addition of varying percentages of crimped steel fibers 0, 0.5,1.0, 1.5% and Glass fibers 0%, 0.03%. The studies indicated that the addition of glass fibre and steel fibers in certain proportions in High Strength hybrid fibre reinforced self compacting concrete beams had contributed towards development of high performance and high strength concrete which is the need of the hour.

Keywords
