Abstract:Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has become widely used thanks to its various advantages. SCC is also fiber reinforced, similar to conventional concrete. However, studies on SCC with fiber addition are limited. In this study, the effect of basalt fibers at different aspect ratios on the mechanical and workability properties of SCC was examined. Slump flow, V-funnel, compressive, flexural and splitting tensile strength tests were carried out within this study. Results showed that, although increasing the aspect … Show more
