Abstract:

This research investigates and compares the behavior of conventional self-compacting concrete (SCC) with a novel glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete under tension. Self-compacting concrete is known for its ability to flow and fill formwork without needing external vibration. Adding glass fiber reinforcement to self-compacting concrete offers potential improvements in tensile strength and cracking resistance. To compare self-compacting concrete's split tensile strength behavior with novel glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete. In this experimental study, a total of 36 samples are used, 18 samples for self-compacting concrete and the remaining 18 samples for glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete. The self-compacting concrete contains 43-grade ordinary Portland cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate (20mm), water cement ratio of 0.45, and 0.6% superplasticizer added according to the weight of cementitious material. For the glass fiberreinforced self-compacting concrete, 3% glass fibers were added according to the weight of the cementitious material in selfcompacting concrete. The split tensile strength of the concrete was tested. The split tensile strength of glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete is increased by 5% compared to self-compacting concrete. The SPSS, version 26 software, did the statistical analysis results. The experimental study shows that M20 grade glass fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete gives greater split tensile strength than conventional M20 grade self-compacting concrete.
