Abstract

Fibre-reinforced self-compacting concrete (FRSCC) is a new building material that combines positive characteristics of workability of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with enhanced characteristics of hardened concrete due to fibre addition. In literature, metallic and synthetic fibres are used as the SCC reinforcement. From the literature it may be established that workability properties of SCC are more adversely affected by the use of metallic fibres. Also, metallic fibres are more effective than synthetic fibres in increasing the mechanical properties of SCC.
