Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study on the durability properties of steel fiber reinforced self compacting concrete[3,14]. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of steel fibers on weight loss (in acidic and alkaline environment) and permeability of steel fiber reinforced self compacting concrete (SFR-SCC)[5]. The variables considered were grade of concrete (M35, M45, M55 and M65) and fiber content (0, 0.5 and 1 percent). The ordinary Portland cement and fly-ash[6] were used as the main ingredients. It was observed that the weight loss reduced and chloride ion penetration increased with the increase in the value of fiber content, further, it was also noticed that the value decreases with the increase in the value of compressive strength of SCC.

Keywords
