Mechanical and fresh properties of fiber reinforced self-compacting lightweight concrete

In this study, the workability and mechanical properties of Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting Lightweight Concrete (FRSCLC) were investigated. Concrete samples were produced with steel ber to which low and high carbon were added. The uidity of FRSCLC was conducted with two categories of ow ability; the property and viscosity of fresh concrete. The mechanical performance of the concrete mixes was determined with short and long-term tests, which include compressive and exural strength at 3, 7, 28 and 365 days. The test results showed that adding bers to self-compacting lightweight concrete mixtures decreases workability. On the other hand, compressive strength was less enhanced, compared to the results of exural strength. As a result, the compressive and exure strength of SCLWCʹs increased up to 30% and 43%, by adding ber at 28 days, respectively.
