Experimental Investigation of Mechanical and Durability Evaluation of Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete

Abstract

In this paper, an experimental study of the mechanical properties and long-term durability of hybrid fibre reinforced composites are exposed and determined. Reinforced Self-Compacting concrete exposed and discussed. The experimental program carries out two phases, in which Phase I include the evaluation of mechanical properties included compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strengths. In phase II, workability, Rapid Chloride penetration test (RCP), Acid Resistance test. SCC is a highly flow able type of concrete that spreads in to the form without the need for mechanical vibration. Self-compacting concrete is commonly used in construction over normal concrete because of its high workability, economy, reduced noise emission, and fast construction. Condensed silica fume used in this experiment consists of pure silica non crystalline form and more than 90% of silicon dioxide is presented. The condensed silica fume must be protected for first 7 days from drying shrinkage. Small amount of magnesium, iron and alkali oxides are present. The M35 grade of concrete mix and condensed silica fume as a filler material at various proportions is done in this research. It was proposed to study the physical, mechanical and durability study for all specimens.
