The objective of the research article is to present the experimental results on the creep strain behaviour of steel fiber Self-Compacting Concrete (SFSCC). In respect of binder content, aggregate size, fine-to-coarse aggregate ratio, water-to-cement ratio, and chemical admixtures, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) differentiates from conventional cement concrete. Steel fibers are also inserted into SCC at a predetermined percentage to reinforce it. Steel fibers have been shown to contribute to improved strength characteristics, a dense mass of concrete with little or no voids, reduced pores in concrete, a higher Young’s modulus, and fewer deflections and strains in concrete. Hence, an investigation was conducted on the creep variation of SFSCC over a longer duration. The test approach follows ASTM C512’s standard test method for concrete creep in compression. The test specimens (SFSCC) are standard cylinders that have been cast and cured for 28 days before being tested. Three SFSCC cylinders with 0.80% steel fiber were tested at the same time. The load is applied to just the cylinders in the loading frame and kept constant, producing constant stress. The strains that occur only due to creep, excluding the initial elastic strain, are digitally recorded. As a logarithmic function, the creep strain-time connection was established. The conclusions are observed based on the findings of the experiments and compared with normal cement concrete (NCC).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
