Abstract

Contrary to ordinary concrete, self-compacting concrete (SCC) flows under its own weight and doesn't require any effort to compact it. The only difference between SCC's ingredients and regular concrete's is that SCC uses more particles and Super Plasticizer. Fly ash, rice husk, and silica fume are examples of pozzolanic materials that are employed to assure the flowability of concrete. Due to the brittle nature of concrete, internal microcracks can form before it is loaded. If these cracks spread, the concrete may break. The use of synthetic, artificial, and natural fibres can stop concrete from cracking under tension. As a result, the addition of polypropylene and steel fibre to concrete is explored in this study along with its flexural strength and split tensile strength. For each combination, split tensile strength, and flexural strength, samples are created.
