Abstract
This study explores the effect of incorporating steel fibres and fly ash into self-compacting concrete (SCC) in various combinations on its mechanical properties. The study begins with thoroughly investigating the fresh properties to ensure compliance with SCC standards when adding steel fibres. Subsequently, mixes that meet SCC standards are evaluated for their mechanical properties. The study aims to enhance the mechanical properties of SCC while maintaining its flowability, filling ability, and passing ability. The research findings provide valuable insights into the optimal combination of steel fibres and fly ash for improving the mechanical properties of SCC. The addition of hooked end type steel fibres increases the compressive strength. When compared to crimped type the mechanical properties increased to 14.4%; however, the strength decreases beyond 1% of steel fibres. Satisfactory results are obtained for fresh properties test.
