Abstract :
Concrete is a poured mixture of cement, water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate that hardens into a strong building material. Concrete is an important construction material that is utilized all over the world. Self-compacting concrete flows and distributes into the form without the requirement for mechanical vibration compacting. It can be utilized in situations where compaction for new concrete is inconvenient. The objective of this investigation of is to utilize regular fiber to work on the exhibition of self-compacting concrete (sisal fiber). Superplasticizer are used to promote the workability of viscosity modifying agents and fibers while decreasing bleeding and segregation. sisal fibers are extracted from the leaves of the plants aqua sisalana. The fibers are obtained by the spinning process and decorations made by machines. The characteristics of new and solidified concrete with built up sisal fiber were explored in this paper. Fiber Self-compacting concrete is completed with a water-concrete proportion of 0.34 for different levels of fiber addition.0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% of the materials were blended. Sisal fiber is included. Plan and cast the 3D square, chamber, and pillar M50 blend. The examples were put through a progression of tests The test conducted for 7 and 28 days.
