Maintenance and life enhancement of buildings are crucial for infrastructure development. Concrete, composed of cement, aggregate, and water, is a composite material. However, plain concrete has limitations such as low elasticity, limited ductility, and susceptibility to cracking. Steel reinforcement is used to overcome these deficiencies and improve tensile strength. Micro cracks at the mortar-aggregate interface weaken plain concrete, leading to brittle fracture. The introduction of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) has revolutionized the construction industry, offering improved properties. This study investigates the properties of fresh SCC and incorporates different fibers (glass, carbon, and basalt) at varying volume fractions. Remarkable improvements are observed in all properties of self-compacting concrete by adding fibers, with carbon FRSCC exhibiting the best performance in the hardened state.
