Abstract
Hardened properties of normal concrete (NC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) are compared. Also, the influence of glass fibres on fresh and hardened properties of SCC is investigated. Three concrete mixtures; normal concrete (NC), SCC and SCC with glass fibres were prepared with a water-cement ratio of 0.35. It was found that addition of glass fibres slightly reduced the workability properties of SCC. Compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of SCC were found to be slightly higher than NC. However, modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of SCC was found to be lower than NC. Addition of glass fibres in SCC had limited effect on compressive strength and modulus of elasticity but increased modulus of rupture and splitting tensile strength significantly.
