ASSESSING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE WITH AND WITHOUT STEEL FIBRE REINFORCEMENT
Although self-compacting concrete (SCC) with or without fibre reinforcement has been developed beyond research laboratory investigations and has now become an industrial product, its physical characteristics with respect to the fresh and hardened states behaviour and performance are not yet comprehensively understood. It is necessary to explore ways to enhance the performance of SCC (without or with fibre) to make it a more sustainable alternative to vibrated concrete (VC). This thesis focuses on the research findings related to the behaviour of SCC (without or with fibre) in fresh and hardened states.
