Compressive Strength of SCC Increased by Use of HD-Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber

Shivshankar Prajapati, Shakti Kumar

Abstract


Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. Therefore, discontinuous Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibres are added to make it strong under tension. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) that has been prepared with the addition of irregular glass fibres is known as glass fibre reinforced SCC (GFRSCC). In order to determine the impact of Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibres on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of SCC, an exploratory study has been conducted. The results demonstrate that when Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibres were added as 0.25% and 0.50% respectively by the weight of total cementitious material contents, the compressive strength of GFRSCC increased by 2.80% and 12.42%, the split tensile strength of GFRSCC increased by 4.47% and 25.12%, and the flexural strength of SCC increased by 6.57% and 14.34% as compared to the Normal SCC. The workability of Normal SCC is not significantly affected by the 0.25% Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibres addition to SCC.
