Honey combs were formed in structural members due to improper compaction, hence self compacting concrete can be used to get better strength. As the concrete gets compacted itself due to gravitational force, additional use of vibrators can be avoided. Provision of steel fibres in concrete can reduce the crack, impact and shrinkage. The mix ratio for self compacting concrete with steel fibres has been arrived with the reference of EFNARC*. The purpose of this project is to perform experimental and analytical investigation to explore the flexural behavior of steel fibre reinforced concrete beam and hybrid fibre reinforced concrete beam. The relationship between the various strength tests are established using the graphs.

Abstract


Honey combs were formed in structural members due to improper compaction, hence self compacting concrete can be used to get better strength. As the concrete gets compacted itself due to gravitational force, additional use of vibrators can be avoided. Provision of steel fibres in concrete can reduce the crack, impact and shrinkage. The mix ratio for self compacting concrete with steel fibres has been arrived with the reference of EFNARC*. The purpose of this project is to perform experimental and analytical investigation to explore the flexural behavior of steel fibre reinforced concrete beam and hybrid fibre reinforced concrete beam. The relationship between the various strength tests are established using the graphs.
