Abstract: The introduction of self-compacting concrete in the construction industry overcomes the flaws caused due to the improper compaction of concrete. Fibers are proved to increase the properties of conventional concrete. This research focuses on the performance of self-compacting concrete after augmenting steel fibers. The steel fibers are added in proportions such as 0.25 percentage, 0.5 percentage, 0.75 percentage and 1 percentage. After casting the self- compacting concrete, the strength was assessed for 7 days and 28 days and its compressive strength and split tensile strength was analyzed. The inclusion of steel fibers yielded good outcome in the tests and it is proved to yield better engineering properties.
Keywords: Concrete Steel Fibers Self Compacting Properties.
