Abstract

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. Therefore, discontinuous Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibres are added to make it strong under tension. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) that has been prepared with the addition of irregular glass fibres is known as glass fibre reinforced SCC (GFRSCC). To determine how Anti-Crack high dispersion glass fibres affected the compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of SCC, an exploratory study was carried out. There has been research. The results show that the compressive strength of GFRSCC increased by 2.70% and 12.32%, the split tensile strength of Glass Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) increased by 4.37% and 25.12%, and the flexural strength of SCC increased by 6.57% and 14.34% as compared to the Normal SCC when Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibres were added as 0.25% and 0.50% respectively by the weight of total cementitious material contents. The addition of Cem-FIL Anti-Crack HD glass fibres at a rate of 0.25% to Normal SCC has a negligible impact on the workability of Normal SCC.
