Experimental Investigation On Siesmic Behaviour Of Self Compacting Concrete With Steel Fibers

Abstract

  Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete mix that flows without the need for vibration or compaction, using higher cement content, which raises environmental concerns. To address this, industrial byproducts like fly ash, silica fume, and rice husk ash can replace cement, reducing the environmental impact. This study explores the use of these materials in SCC for M30 grade concrete and evaluates the effects of adding corrugated steel fibers to improve strength and crack resistance. Optimal mixes enhance mechanical properties and seismic performance, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional concrete.
