Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a complex system that is usually proportioned with one or more mineral admixtures and more than one chemical admixture. Correct selection of aggregates, its size, gradation and content, along with adjustments in the rhelogy of the paste is essential for the SCC. To have successful design of SCC mix it is essential to have a higher level of quality control, a grater awareness of aggregate gradation, control over the mix water and use of highly advanced high range water reducing admixtures and the viscosity enhancers and have a clear understanding of the role of the various constituents in the mix and their effects on the fresh and hardened properties. Damage in Concrete structures due to fire depends to a great extent on the intensity and duration of fire. The distress in the Concrete manifests in the form of cracking and spalling of the Concrete surface. The Thermal incompatibility between components of concrete causes cracking in Concrete at elevated temperatures that reduces its durability.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the Residual Compressive Strength of Glass fibre reinforced Self Compacting Concrete using Alkali-Resistant Glass Fibres subjected to temperatures 2000c, 4000c and 6000c for various grades of Concrete  M35, M40, M 50 and M 55.

Keywords
