Rheological Behavior of Ordinary Concrete, SCC with and without Glass and Steel Fibers

Abstract

Rheology indicates its flowability and deformation. These two parameters indicate directly workability. It measures the normal and shearing forces in fresh concrete state. In this article the flowability and its measurement are discussed for ordinary and SCC with Glass and steel fibers are demonstrated. The strength parameter for a particular concrete mix is demonstrated with sampling and acceptance criteria. The new draft code on design of concrete mix (IS-10262) verified by compliance with specifications. The different parameters like percentage of Glass and Steel fibers, different percentages of silica fume, and different dosages of superplasticizer are tested and reported. A comparative analysis for, with and without glass fibers on ordinary and SCC predicted.
