 ABSTRACT

Self compacting concrete (SCC) is a development of conventional concrete, in which the use
of vibrator for compaction is no more required. Self-compacting concrete was first developed in 1988
to achieve durable concrete structures. Since then, various investigations have been carried out and
this type of concrete has been used in practical structures in Japan mainly by large construction
companies. The use of self compacting concrete (SCC) can facilitate the placement of concrete in
congested reinforcement in the structural members. This is especially important in deep structural
members and wall elements where concrete can segregate and exhibit bleeding and settlement which
can result in local structural defects that can reduce mechanical properties. Investigations for
establishing a rational mix-design method and self-compactability testing methods have been carried
out from the viewpoint of making self-compacting concrete a standard concrete.

Several studies in the past have revealed the usefulness of fibers to improve the structural
properties of concrete like ductility, post crack resistance, energy absorption capacity etc.Fiber
reinforced self compacting concreting combines the benefits of self compacting concrete in fresh state
and shows an improved performance in the hardened state due to the addition of fibers.Fibers bridge
cracks and retard their propagation, they contribute to an increased energy absorption compared with
plain concrete. In this investigation Cem-FIL anti-crack high dispersion glass fibers and steel fibers
were added to self compacting concrete and Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete
wasdeveloped by using compressible packing model.Several tests, such as slump flow,L-box,J-
ring,V-funnel tests were carried out to obtain the properties for flowability and workability of fresh
concrete. An experimental investigation was performed to study the bond between deformed bars,
plain and fiber reinforced SCC with different embedment lengths (100mm, 150mm, 300mm.) for
16mm bar. The results shows that bond stress was decreased with an increased embedment length
of a grade of self compacting concrete and also bond stress was increased by the addition of steel
fibers for all grades of SCC and corresponding slip increases for same diameter of bar with constant
embedment length.
