SCC can also flow between reinforcement bar without tendency blockage of
coarse aggregate.
The fresh SCC requirements are mainly resumed to the filling ability, the
passing capacity and the resistance to segregation.
These properties are evaluated at the mix design stage, based on a series of
tests in fresh samples with distinct apparatus (EFNARC 2002).
The introduction of steel fibers in SCC mixes enhance the properties of SCC.
CNTD.. 3
In this project work, fibers of hookend and crimped shape , both having length
50 mm & dia 1 mm and length 30 mm & dia 0.5 mm are to be investigated at
0.25%, 0.50% and 0.75% dosages.
Slump flow, J ring, V-funnel L-box and V funnel at T5 min :- Tests for fresh
properties of the SCC.
Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and
flexural strength of the concrete : - Tests for the hardened properties.
The optimum fiber content, shape of the fiber and aspect ratio are to be
determined for better performance in terms of strength.
PROPERTIES OF SCC 4
Improved constructability.
Labour reduction.
Bond to reinforcing steel.
Improved structural Integrity.
Accelerates project schedules.
Reduces skilled labour.
Flows into complex forms.
Reduces equipment wear.
Minimizes voids on highly reinforced areas.
Produces superior surface finishes.

Hot weather.
Long haul distances can reduce flowability of self-compacting concrete.
Delays on job site could affect the concrete mix design performance.
Job site water addition to Self-Compacting Concrete may not always yield the
expected increase in flowability and could cause stability problems.
REQUIREMENTS FOR SCC 9
SCC differs from conventional concrete in that its fresh properties are vital in
determining whether or not it can be placed satisfactorily.
The fresh properties that determines the workability of SCC are :
Filling ability
Passing ability
Segregation resistance
The objective of this study is to optimize the Steel Fiber Reinforced Self
Compacting Concrete (SFRSCC) in the fresh and in hardened state
Project aims to study the incorporation of steel fibers at varying
concentrations in self compacting concrete.
To determine the effect of aspect ratio and shape of steel fibers on fresh and
hardened properties of self compacting concrete.
A comparison is intended to make on the properties of SCC with the addition
of steel fibers by determining its compressive strength, flexural strength ,
split tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.
To know it’s application in construction industry.
