This paper presents an investigation into the efficiency of temperature-sensitive self-compacting concrete. Reviewing on self-compacted concrete, steel fibre, glass fibre, Polypropylene fibre. To this end, adding fibres (steel fibre, glass fibre, Polypropylene) content 1.2% for mixture of concrete material. When the cube samples were 28 days old. They have been heated to high temperatures. Each samples were heated to different temperatures for each concrete mixture (0ºC,100C, 200ºC). Then, Tests for weight loss and compressive strength were performed. The Observations of surface cracks were made after exposure to high temperatures. A significant loss of strength up to 30-40% for all concretes after 300ºC was observed, especially for concrete containing Polypropylene fibre, glass fibre, steel fibre. The fibres reduced the risk of explosive spalling and prevented it. Based on the results of the study, the output of fine aggregate concrete can be inferred.

Concrete is the most used material for the construction in the modern time of infrastructures. Concrete is strong in compression but it is weak in tension and shear. To minimise those problems, fibres were introduced in concrete to enhance its tensile strength and shear strength. In my present investigation, the mechanical properties of fibres reinforced concrete are studied by using steel fibre, glass fibre and polyamide fibre with a different weight fraction of fibres with respect to cement. The mix design of M25 concrete with W/C ratio of 0.42 is prepared and total thirteen mixes included one control mix was prepared and tested in the laboratory. The total quantity of fibres mixed in the concrete are in order of 0%, 0.75%, 1.5%, and 2.25% by weight of cement and one mix contains 0.33% of glass fibre, 0.33% of steel fibre and 0.33% of polyamide. The study shows that the mixed fibres provide better properties in controlling cracks and high strengths than single fibre and concrete without fibre. On increasing the percentage of fibres beyond 1.5%, the strength of the concrete matrix decrease due to mat form of fibres or non-uniform distribution of fibres and also decrease due to non-cohesiveness of the concrete particle to each other.

Repairing of reinforced concrete structures is currently a major challenge in the construction industry and is being put back into operation with a slight loss in load carrying capacity. Damage occurs due to many factors that reduce the strength of concrete structures and their durability. The aim of this paper is study the compatibility between three types of reactive powder concrete with (steel fibre, glass fibre and polypropylene fibre) as a repair materials and normal strength concrete as a substrate concrete. Compatibility was investigated in three steps. First: individual properties for substrate concrete were studied, these are (slump test, compressive strength, splitting strength, and flexural strength) also, for repair material these are (compressive strength and flexural strength) were determined by using standard ASTM test methods. Second: bond strength of composite cylinder for substrate concrete with different repair materials were evaluated by using slant shear test. Third: compatibility was investigated by using composite prisms of substrate concrete with different repair materials under two-point loading (flexural strength test). From the experimental results concluded, bond strength between reactive powder concrete with glass fibre as a repair material and normal strength concrete as a substrate layer is higher (17.38Mpa) compared with RPC with steel fibre (13.13Mpa) and polypropylene fibre (14.31MPa). Also, it is more compatible due to flexural strength for composite prisms (having higher flexural strength (8.13MPa). Compared with steel fibre (7.44MPa) and polypropylene fibre (6.47MPa). These results due to RPC with glass fibre have good workability with suitable flowability and glass fibre have higher tensile strength compare with other fibre.

Ultimate Load Carrying Capacity

A ribbed slab structure has the advantage in the reduction of concrete volume in between the ribs resulting in a lower structural self-weight. In order to overcome the drawbacks in the construction process, the application of steel fibre self-compacting concrete (SCFRC) is seen as an alternative material to be used in the slab. This preliminary investigation was carried out to investigate the flexural behaviour of steel fibre self-compacting concrete (SCFRC) as the main material in ribbed slab omitting the conventional reinforcements. Two samples of ribbed slab were prepared for this preliminary study; 2-ribbed and 3-ribbed in 1 m width to identify the effect of the geometry to the slab’s flexural behaviour. The dimension of both samples is 2.5 m x 1 m with 150 mm thickness. The compressive strength of the mix is 48.6 MPa based on the cubes tested at 28 days. Load was applied to failure by using the four point bending test set-up with simple support condition. The result of the experiment recorded ultimate load carrying capacity at 30.68 kN for the 2-ribbed slab and 25.52 kN for 3-ribbed slab. From the results, the ultimate load of the 2-ribbed sample exceeds 3-ribbed by approximately 20%. This proved that even with lower concrete volume, the sample can still withstand an almost similar ultimate load. Cracks was also observed and recorded with the maximum crack width of 2 mm. It can be concluded that the steel fibres do have the potential to withstand flexural loadings. Steel fibre reduces macro-crack forming into micro-cracks and improves concrete ductility, as well as improvement in deflection. This shows that steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete is practical as it offers good concrete properties as well as it can be mixed, placed easier without compaction.

The paper presents the results from the research on self-compacting concrete with different steel fibre type addition. The reference self-compacting concrete mix with water/binder = 0.33 was prepared, then modified with steel fibres in the amounts of 0–60 kg/m3 and air entrained with polymer microspheres (40 μm diameter). The major objective of the research was to determine the effect of steel fibre and air content on the self-compacting concrete mix properties and hardened concrete frost durability. The tests also included internal cracking and scaling resistance evaluation for concrete specimens subjected to cyclic freeze-thaw process − two beams were frozen in air and two beams were partially submerged in water and then frozen. The scaling resistance was tested using the slab method on the specimens with sawn surface and on the specimens with natural finished surface. Non-air entrained steel fibrereinforced concretes, despite their high strength class (C55/67–C60/75) and medium absorption (4.34–5.11%), showed unsatisfactory resistance to internal cracking and scaling tests. The beams partially submerged in water failed after 100 freeze-thaw cycles, which confirms a significant influence of water uptake from moist environment during freeze-thaw cycles and the acceleration of the damage process. Test results indicate that air entrainment with polymer microspheres is a very effective method and allows obtaining very good air pore structure parameters and frost resistance results. The specimens with top − finished surface exhibited less damage in the scaling resistance tests in relation to the specimens with sawn surface.
