This work focused on how self-compacting concrete (SCC) performs in situ in hot weather conditions at an ambient temperature of about 35°C. Tests for the rheological properties and compressive and splitting tensile strength aspects were carried out. The results of SCC mix ingredients on the rheological and hardened features of SCC mix were studied. Variations in the amount of portland cement content (CC), water to cement ratio (w/c), coarse to fine aggregate ratio (C : F), chemical admixture ratio, and pozzolanic admixture ratio were considered. Optimum values were obtained for these ingredients, which satisfied the SCC rheological characteristics and gave a 28-day compressive strength of 42 MPa, and 52 MPa after 28 days and 56 days, respectively. These optimum constituent values were 450 kg·m–3 of cement, 0.45 water cementitious ratio, and a coarse to fine material ratio of 1 : 0.8, a high range superplasticizer of 2%, and a mineral admixture of either 5% silica fume or 25% fly ash as a substitute for a similar amount cement.

Rozwój współczesnej technologii betonu przebiega w kierunku uzyskania betonu o minimalnym wpływie na środowisko, wytrzymałego, trwałego, możliwie samoobsługowego w wykonaniu i użytkowaniu oraz o szczególnych, dodatkowych funkcjonalnościach. Do takich betonów zalicza się beton samozagęszczalny BSZ. W artykule omówiono i przedyskutowano techniczne, ekonomiczne i ekologiczne aspekty stosowania betonu samozagęszczalnego w odniesieniu do całego cyklu życia konstrukcji. Pokazano, że chociaż koszt betonu samozagęszczalnego może być większy, jego stosowanie umożliwia obniżenie pracochłonności i energochłonności procesu betonowania oraz umożliwia uzyskanie mniej materiałochłonnych i trwalszych konstrukcji betonowych o dłuższym okresie użytkowania. Przedyskutowano proekologiczny aspekt technologii betonu samozagęszczalnego, w tym szczególnie możliwości wykorzystania różnych materiałów odpadowych i z recyclingu.

The development of concrete technology is proceeding in the direction of obtaining concrete with minimal environmental impact, strong and durable and as self-service as possible to make and use, and with special additional functionalities. Such concretes include self-compacting concrete. The article reviews and discusses the technical, economic and environmental aspects of using self-compacting concrete in relation to the life cycle of the structure. It is shown that although the cost of self-compacting concrete may be higher, its use makes it possible: to reduce the labor and energy consumption of the concreting process and to obtain less material-intensive and more durable concrete structures with a longer service life. The proenvironmental aspect of self-compacting concrete technology was discussed, especially including the possibility of using various waste and recycled materials.

W ostatnich latach materiały kompozytowe są szeroko stosowane w celu wzmacniania istniejących konstrukcji, także betonowych. Na ogół proces ten polega na przyklejeniu maty lub taśmy z włókien węglowych (bądź innych) do uprzednio przygotowanej powierzchni betonu, najczęściej przy użyciu żywicy epoksydowej. Wykonywanie konstrukcji betonowych - szczególnie słupów betonowych - wiąże się między innymi z koniecznością wykonania deskowania, systemów rusztowań i późniejszego rozformowania elementu. Proces ten bywa czasochłonny, co wpływa na szybkość wykonania i koszt słupów betonowych. W pracy zaproponowano sposób wykonywania rur kompozytowych z laminatów węglowych oraz ich późniejsze wykorzystanie jako traconą formę do wykonania cylindrycznych próbek zespolonych. Rury kompozytowe o grubości 0,3 i 0,9 mm wypełniono betonem samozagęszczalnym, a następnie poddano badaniom niszczącym w teście jednoosiowego ściskania. Wytrzymałość na ściskanie betonu w osłonie rury o grubości 0,3 mm (SCC-0,3) i 0,9 mm (SCC-0,9) była odpowiednio większa o 37% i 95% w porównaniu z betonem referencyjnym. Średnia wartość maksymalnej odkształcalności osiowej grup próbek wyniosła 0,0048, 0,0069 i 0,0151, odpowiednio dla betonu samozagęszczalnego (SCC), SCC-0,3 i SCC-0,9. Odnotowano także wzrost modułu sprężystości podłużnej betonu wewnątrz rur kompozytowych. Uzyskane wyniki wykazały dobrą współpracę zbrojenia zewnętrznego (rury kompozytowej) z rdzeniem betonowym, pomimo małej przyczepności pomiędzy tymi elementami.

In recent years, composite materials have been widely used to reinforce existing structures, including concrete elements. This process generally consists in gluing a carbon fibers (or other) mat to a previously prepared concrete surface, most often using epoxy resin. Making concrete structures - especially concrete columns - involves the need to make formwork and scaffolding systems and then demolding the elements. This process can be time-consuming, which affects the speed and cost of building a concrete column. This work proposes a method of preparing composite tubes from carbon laminates and their subsequent use as a lost mold for the production of cylindrical composite samples. Composite tubes with an average thickness of 0.3 and 0.9 mm were filled with self-compacting concrete and then subjected to destructive testing in the uniaxial compression test. The compressive strength of the concrete in the 0.3 mm (SCC-0.3) and 0.9 mm (SCC-0.9) pipe sheath was 37% and 95% higher, respectively, compared to the reference concrete. The average value of the maximum axial deformation was 0.0048, 0.0069 and 0.0151 for self-compacting concrete (SCC), SCC-0.3 and SCC-0.9, respectively. An increase in the modulus of elasticity was also noted for the concrete in the composite pipes. The obtained results showed good cooperation of the external reinforcement (composite tube) with the concrete core, despite the infinitesimal adhesion between these elements.

Steel recycling saves energy and time and is more environmentally friendly. It rids the environment from huge amounts of scrap cars and huge structures, as well as reduces mining operations that destroy the natural environment. In this investigation, the steel scrap effect on the mechanical properties of concrete was investigated, inadditiontoinvestigatethevariationofmechanicalpropertieswithincreasingtheconcrete age. Three concrete mixes were studied: one without steel waste as a control, one with 1 % steel waste by volume of concrete, and one with 1.5% steel waste by volume of concrete. The results show that adding waste steel to the concrete improved compressive strength as well as tensile strength. where, the mixing which contains 1% of steel waste, has an increase in strength that reaches up to 12% and 23% at 28 days for compressive strength and tensile strength sequentially as compared to the reference mix. Furthermore, the results show that there is a significant increase in splitting tensile strength that reaches 29% at day 28 for a mix of 1.5% steel waste as compared to the reference concrete mix. The best improvement in compressive strength over time was obtained when using 1% steel waste. Whilethebestimprovementintensilestrengthovertimewasobtainedwhenusing 1.5% steelwaste.In both cases, the amount of improvement is better than the models without steel waste, which gives us confidence in giving recommendations for conducting more in-depth studies to achieve maximum advantage.

Artykuł przedstawia badania dotyczące technologii warstwowego wykonywania konstrukcji z betonu samozagęszczalnego. Badania przeprowadzono na elementach panelowych o wymiarach 800×480×160 mm, betonowanych w dwóch warstwach z jednego punktu podawania mieszanki. Założono trzy różne czasy opóźnienia podawania drugiej warstwy mieszanki: 15, 30 oraz 60 minut. Przeanalizowano dwa warianty technologiczne podawania mieszanki: od góry i od dołu formy. Analizowano wpływ technologii układania mieszanki na nośność połączenia warstw betonu oraz pręta zbrojeniowego z betonem. Nośność połączenia warstw betonu określono za pomocą badania wytrzymałości na rozciąganie przy rozłupywaniu, na próbkach rdzeniowych pobranych z elementów panelowych. W dotychczasowej literaturze badanie nośności połączenia warstw było badane na znacznie mniejszych elementach i nie uwzględniały one innej technologii podawania mieszanki niż tradycyjna. Badanie przyczepności pręt zbrojeniowy-beton na styku warstw wykonano metodą pull-out. Wykazano duże różnice w sposobie mieszania się warstw betonu, w zależności od zastosowanej technologii jego podawania. Betonowanie od góry formy powodowało spadek nośności zespolenia warstw jak i zmniejszenie sztywności i nośności połączenia pręt zbrojeniowy-beton wraz ze zwiększeniem czasu opóźnienia podawania drugiej warstwy. Z kolei betonowanie od dołu formy zapewniło uzyskanie nośności zespolenia warstw betonu na poziomie 90% wytrzymałości próbki monolitycznej w całym zakresie badań. Technologia betonowania od dołu została polecona do wykonywania elementów w technologii wielowarstwowej z betonu samozagęszczalnego.

The article presents a study on the technology of layered execution in self-compacting concrete structures. The research focused on 800×480×160 mm panel elements, cast in two layers from a single mix casting point. Three different delay times for delivering the second layer of mix were considered: 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Two technological variants of mix application were analysed: from the top and from the bottom of the mould. The study investigated the influence of the placement technology on the load bearing capacity of the concrete layer-to-layer joint and the rebar-to-concrete joint. The load-bearing capacity of the concrete layer-to-layer joint was determined through a splitting tensile strength test on core specimens extracted from panel elements. Notably, existing literature has primarily explored the load-bearing capacity of the concrete layer-to-layer joint on smaller elements and has not accounted for mix placing technologies diverging from the traditional one. A test of the rebar-to-concrete bond at the layer interface was conducted using the pull-out method. Substantial differences were identified in the mixing pattern of concrete layers, contingent on the placing technology employed. Top-down casting led to a reduction in the load-bearing capacity of the concrete layer-to-layer interface, coupled with decreased stiffness and bond strength of the rebar-to-concrete connection as the delay time of the second layer increased. Conversely, bottom-up concreting maintained the load-bearing capacity of the combined concrete layers at 90% of the strength of the monolithic specimen throughout the entire test range. The article recommends the utilization of bottom-up placing technology for executing elements in the multilayer casting of self-compacting concrete.

Concrete is currently the most frequently used material in the building sector due to its favourable properties. However, the proliferation of waste poses a significant environmental problem. Over the past three decades, researchers have explored the use of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as well as plastic waste as aggregates, binders, and fibres in construction materials. This approach has emerged as a notable solution to address environmental and economic challenges. The objective of this research is to assess the impact of polyethylene terephthalate fibres (PETF) on the behaviour of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with recycled fine concrete aggregates (RFCA). Natural fine aggregates (NFA) were used as a substitute for RFCA at different mass fractions (0–100%). Additionally, four volumetric fractions (Vf) of PETF (ranging from 0.3% to 1.2%) were added, and the findings revealed an improvement in the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of the composite material obtained. However, as the Vf content of PET fibres and RFCA increased, the compressive strength decreased, negatively affecting water absorption by immersion and capillary water absorption. Using 100% RFCA and 1.2% PETF enhanced the modulus of elasticity and flexural strength of recycled self-compacting concrete (RSCC) by up to 25% and 9%, respectively.

In recent years, carbon fibres have been extensively used to strengthen concrete structures. In most cases, the lamination process is carried out using epoxy resin as matrix. In some cases, especially when strengthen structural elements made of weak concrete, it is possible to replace the epoxy resin with an inorganic, cement matrix, while at the same time maintaining a sufficient efficiency of strengthen understood as the percentage increase in the compressive strength of concrete samples due to the applied reinforcement in relation to the reference concrete. In these studies, elements of carbon fibres mats that are reinforced with a cement matrix were used as the starting product for fibre recovery. The laminate, which was used to reinforce concrete elements, was detached from the concrete surface and subjected to processing in order to obtain clean carbon fibre scraps without cement matrix. Then, the obtained carbon material, in shaped form, was used to strengthen self-compacting, high performance, fibre reinforced concrete (SCHPFRC). For comparative purposes, this concrete was also strengthened by carbon fibre mats (with one and three layers of CFRP). Each samples were tested in uniaxial compression test. The compressive strength of concrete reinforced with 1 and 3 layers of CFRP was higher by 37.9 and 96.3%, respectively, compared to the reference concrete. On the other hand, the compressive strength of concrete reinforced with 1 and 3 layers of carbon fibre scrapswas higher by 11.8 and 40.1%, respectively. Regardless of the reinforcement technique used, the composite elements showed a higher deformability limit in comparison plain concrete. The obtained results showed that it is possible to reuse carbon fibre to strengthen structural elements made of SCHPFRC effectively, using simple processing methods.

W ostatnich latach włókna węglowe są szeroko stosowane do wzmacniania konstrukcji betonowych. W większości przypadków proces laminowania odbywa się z użyciem żywicy epoksydowej jako matrycy. Czasami, zwłaszcza przy wzmacnianiu elementów konstrukcyjnych wykonanych z betonu o stosunkowo niskiej wytrzymałości na ściskanie, możliwe jest zastąpienie żywicy epoksydowej matrycą nieorganiczną; cementową, przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu dostatecznej efektywności wzmocnienia - rozumianej jako procentowy wzrost wytrzymałości betonu na ściskanie wskutek zastosowania materiału kompozytowego, w odniesieniu do betonu referencyjnego. W procesie kruszenia jako nadawę zastosowano elementy betonowe wzmocnione matami z włókien węglowych przy zastosowaniu matrycy cementowej. Laminat został oderwany od powierzchni betonu i poddany dalszej obróbce w celu uzyskania czystych, niezawierających matrycy cementowej skrawków mat z włókna węglowego. Następnie otrzymany materiał został wykorzystany do wzmocnienia samozagęszczalnego, wysokowytrzymałościowego fibrobetonu (SCHPFRC). Dla celów porównawczych beton ten został także wzmocniony z użyciem mat z włókien węglowych (1 i 3 warstwy wzmocnienia). Próbki cylindryczne przebadano w teście jednoosiowego ściskania. Wytrzymałość na ściskanie betonu wzmocnionego 1 i 3 warstwami CFRP była wyższa odpowiednio o 37,9 i 96,3% w porównaniu z betonem referencyjnym. Natomiast wytrzymałość betonu wzmocnionego 1 i 3 warstwami strzępów z włókna węglowego była wyższa odpowiednio o 11,8 i 40,1%. Niezależnie od zastosowanej techniki wzmocnienia, próbki kompozytowe cechowały się wyższą odkształcalnością graniczną w odniesieniu do betonu referencyjnego. Uzyskane wyniki wykazały, że możliwe jest wykorzystanie włókien węglowych z recyklingu do efektywnego wzmocnienia elementów konstrukcyjnych wykonanych z SCHPFRC, przy użyciu nieskomplikowanej metody przeróbki odpadu.

This study investigates the characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC) reinforced with recycled fibres and their combination with polypropylene fibres, which can be applied to build protective structures. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) method was used to subject the mixtures to high strain rates in the range from 140 to 200 s−1 , corresponding to impact loads. It was found that the strain rate sensitivity of both types of mixtures was comparable. The failure pattern confirmed the role of fibres in carrying the loads for strain rates below around 100 s−1 .

This research experimentally investigates the effect of using the perforated steel plate instead of steel bars as a reinforcing system in two-way concrete slabs. The study consists of casting four slabs using self-compacting concrete. Three slabs are reinforced by a perforated steel plate and one slab is reinforced by traditional bar reinforcement. The amount of steel in both types of reinforcement is equal. The slabs are tested under a monotonic concentrated load at their middle point. The results show a significant enhancement in behavior. The ultimate load increased about 43% to 76%, depending on the size of the openings. Moreover, the final crack width in all slabs reinforced by a perforated steel plate was smaller than in the slab reinforced by a traditional steel bar. The results of this study may be used in future research to introduce a method that will lead to an improvement in the overall behavior of two-way concrete slabs.

Self compacting concrete (SCC) filling layer is core structure of China rail track system (CRTS) ? type ballastless track. Construction quality, service performance and durability of CRTS ? ballastless structure are affected by stability of SCC for filling layer. In this study, the stability of SCC of filling layer is researched at three levels as paste, mortar and concrete by theory and experiment. Evaluation indices including bleeding (B), surface bubble rate (θ), thickness of paste (𝜎paste) and thickness of surface mortar (L) are proposed based on the theoretical calculation and analysis. The threshold viscosity of paste 0.394 Pa·s and mixture satisfied area are obtained at paste level based on the relationship between viscosity and B, θ of paste. The mixture satisfied area was defined at mortar level under criterions of maximum value of 𝜎paste and slump flow. Optimal range of gap between neighboring aggregates (λca) 12.4 mm-14.1 mm is chosen by flow ability, passing ability, stable ability of SCC. These research results will help to further understand the stability of SCC.

The paste content in the self-compacting concrete is about 40% in unit volume. The rheological properties of paste directly determine the properties of self-compacting concrete. In this paper, the effect of silica fume (2, 3, 4, and 5%), limestone powder (5, 10 and 15%), and the viscosity modified admixture (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7%) on the rheological properties were investigated. The effect of admixtures on shear thickening response was discussed based on the modified Bingham model. The results indicate that yield stress and plastic viscosity increased with increased silica fume and viscosity modified admixture replacement. The paste’s yield stress increases and then decreases with limestone powder replacement. The critical shear stress and minimum plastic viscosity are improved by silica fume and viscosity modifying admixture. The critical shear stress first increases and decreases as the limestone powder replacement increases. A reduction in the shear thickening response of paste was observed with silica fume and viscosity modified admixture replacement increase.

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) has been widely used in the filling layer of high-speed railways. The quality of the filling layer directly affects the durability, comfort, and safety of the track system. In this study, shrinkage characteristics and the creep behavior of SCC were investigated by compressive creep tests and shrinkage tests. They were performed on specimens with different loading levels with a calcium sulfoaluminate-based expansive agent (UEA) and viscosity modified admixture (VMA). Furthermore, based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) morphology of hydration products and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the influence of admixtures on microstructure and mineral phases of SCC was analyzed. The results show that when concretes were loaded with the same stress level, the main factor influencing creep of SCC was the quantity and microstructure of amorphism and hydration crystal. The XRD and SEM result showed that UEA and VMA make the creep and shrinkage of SCC reduce obviously as the cementitious system grow many crystals in hydration products. The creep of NC was less than SCC with identical compressive strength. At the same time, the addition of UEA can improve the ability to resist drying shrinkage.

The paper presents research results of bond tests in completely concrete encased steel I-section columns made of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The results of push-out tests obtained by elements made of SCC were compared with those elements, which were made of vibrated concrete. The influence of selected factors on resistance to the vertical shear was considered in this study. The analysis of research results shows that the resistance to the vertical shear between steel I-section and SCC concrete depends on distance between stirrups and concrete age. Shrinkage has important influence on interfacial bond forces. The test results were compared with a recommendations given in the Design code - Eurocode 4. This standard can be used only for composite elements made of lightweight and vibrated concrete. In the case of completely concrete encased I-section composite columns the shear resistance after 28 days and after concrete shrinkage was higher than design resistance strength given in the standard. This means that the design value of the shear strength given in the standard should be verified and checked, if it can be applied to elements made of SCC concrete. Further tests should be carried out to determine the value of shear resistance for such elements.

Stalowo-betonowe słupy o przekroju złożonym z obetonowanego dwuteownika stanowią jeden z podstawowych typów słupów zespolonych szeroko stosowanych w budownictwie. Dzięki takim cechom jak: wysoka nośność, sztywność czy też ciągliwość, zyskały na popularności i znalazły zastosowanie jako podpory w obiektach mostowych, konstrukcjach hydrotechnicznych, a także w różnego rodzaju budynkach posadowionych na terenach zagrożonych sejsmicznie. Przekroje złożone z obetonowanego dwuteownika są powszechnie stosowane, np. w podmorskich tunelach Chin. Jednocześnie istotnym zagadnieniem rozważanym w wielu publikacjach jest możliwość wzmocnienia stalowych, skorodowanych słupów, stanowiących podpory mostów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, poprzez ich obetonowanie. W tego typu konstrukcjach, których przekroje są często gęsto zbrojone, a przestrzeń między deskowaniem i stalowym kształtownikiem nieduża, zasadnym wydaje się użycie betonu samozagęszczalnego (SCC z ang. Self-Compacting Concrete). Dlatego Autorki artykuły podjęły się zbadania przyczepności między stalą i betonem samozagęszczalnym w zespolonych słupach o przekroju złożonym z obetonowanego dwuteownika HEA 160. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań przyczepności miedzy stalą i betonem samozagęszczalnym (SCC), elementów złożonych z obetonowanego dwuteownika HEA 160 i porównano je z wynikami uzyskanymi przez elementy wykonane z betonu wibrowanego. W pracy przedstawiono również wpływ wybranych czynników na nośność na ścinanie w płaszczyźnie zespolenia. Analiza wyników badań pokazała, że rozstaw zbrojenia poprzecznego oraz wiek i rodzaj betonu wpływają na nośność na ścinanie w płaszczyźnie zespolenia. Jednocześnie wyniki badań obliczeniowej nośności na ścinanie w płaszczyźnie zespolenia zestawiono z wartościami granicznymi podanymi w normie Eurokod 4. Jak wynika z przeprowadzonej analizy, wszystkie badane elementy uzyskały wyższą wartość naprężeń ścinających w płaszczyźnie zespolenia niż wartość podana w tablicy normowej EC4, zarówno po 28 dniach jak i po badaniu skurczu betonu. Zgodnie z zaleceniami określonymi w normie PN-EN 1994-1-1-2008, wartość obliczeniowych naprężeń ścinających zależy jedynie od rodzaju przekroju elementów ściskanych. Należy podkreślić, że zalecenia normowe dotyczą jedynie elementów wykonanych z betonu zwykłego, ale wydaje się, że nawet w tym przypadku warunki klasyfikacji granicznej nośności na ścinanie τRd wydają się być niewystarczające. W związku z tym wydaje się, że powinny zostać przeprowadzone kolejne badania w celu określenia obliczeniowej nośności na ścinanie dla elementów wykonanych z betonu SCC.

W pracy podkreślono, że w modyfikacji składu betonu nanocząstkami upatruje się możliwości poprawy cech fizycznych i mechanicznych otrzymanego z ich udziałem tworzywa. Zauważono, że w tym celu prowadzone są badania w wielu laboratoriach na świecie, a ich rezultaty są obiecujące, pomimo tego, że na chwilę obecną badania są niepełne i mocno rozproszone. Stwierdzono, że brak jest między innymi badań betonu samozagęszczającego się modyfikowanego nanododatkami. W pracy zaprezentowane zostały rezultaty badań własnych takiego betonu, mające na celu wypełnienie luki w literaturze. Łącznie badaniom poddano 11 serii betonu samozagęszczającego się modyfikowanego różną ilością trzech nanododatków, w zakresie cech reologicznych mieszanek betonowych, porowatości stwardniałego betonu, wytrzymałości na ściskanie i twardości. Otrzymano rezultaty wskazujące na to, że nanododatki wpływają na poprawę niektórych cech uzyskanego z ich udziałem betonu.

The study emphasized that a possibility of improving physical and mechanical properties of concrete is seen in its modification with nanoparticles. It was observed that towards this goal studies are conducted in many laboratories in the world and their results are promising, even though research at the moment are not complete and highly scattered. It was concluded, that among others, there are no tests of self-compacting concrete modified with nanoadditives. In the paper results of own research of above mentioned concrete are presented, aimed at fulfilling gaps in the literature. In total 11 series of self-compacting concrete modified with various amount of three nanoadditives were investigated, in the scope of rheological properties of the concrete mix, porosity of the hardened concrete, compressive strength and hardness. Obtained results indicate that nanoadditives impact on improving some properties of the concrete made with their participation.

The aim of this work involves studying the impact of varied types of steel fibers (SF) on the performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC), containing volcanic pumice powder (VPP). In this study, five types of steel fiber, which had a hooked end with two lengths of (SF1) and (SF3), flat end of length (SF2), in addition to the pointed end of (SF4) and (SF5) by 1% of volume fraction, were used. In addition, hybrid steel fiber (a mixture of all the steel fiber types) by 0.2% of volume fraction of concrete volume was used. Moreover, VPP was utilized by 30% cement mass as a substitute material for producing SCC. The impact of steel fiber properties in the shape of SF on the fresh concrete properties as slump flow and segregation were investigated. In addition to their influence on the compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, toughness, porosity, water absorption, and bulk density were examined. The results showed that SF led to decreasing the SCC fresh properties. Utilizing SF, on the other hand, improved the SCC hardened properties, as well as the toughness indices.

Development of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a very desirable achievement in the reinforced concrete (RC) structures for overcoming issues associated with many problems such as congestions of steel reinforcement. This non-vibrating concrete is not affected by the skill of workers, and the shape and amount of reinforcing bar arrangement of a structure. Due to the high fluidity and resisting power of reinforcing of SCC, it can be pumped longer distances. In this study, the finite element (FE) modeling of three SCC beams in shear while taking into account, the flexural tensile strength of concrete is computed and the results are compared with the available experimental tested reinforced SCC beams. The stirrups are located at 75 mm apart from the end of beams up to the loading point. The electrical strain gauges (ESGs) have been embedded on the stirrups and their strain readings are taken for every step of load increment. For modeling longitudinal steel reinforcing bars and concrete, the 3-D elements with 2-node and 8-node, are used respectively. The comparison of results obtained by two methods is indicated that a good satisfactory agreement is achieved.

Many researchers have investigated alternative sources to overcome the problem of conventional building material polluting the environment by the development of green self-compacting concrete in the construction industry. The best alternative solution is to utilise non-conventional construction materials like agricultural wastes. Meanwhile, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is considered as high strength as well as high-performance concrete. The demerits, which include tensile and flexural strength, can be improved by incorporating coir fibres. The utilisation of coir fibres also modifies self-compacting concrete performance after cracking and improves the toughness. This study defines an experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete containing coir fibres (CF) with different percentages being 0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% at 7- and 28-days water curing. The mechanical properties include the slump flow and compressive and tensile strength were examined. The outcomes demonstrated that a required slump flow for self-compacting concrete was achieved using coir fibres up to 1%, beyond which it reduced the slump significantly. The length of fibre and proportion of fibres directly affected the workability. The compressive strength was 10% to 15% enhanced with the incorporation of coir fibres up to 0.5%; after that, the strength was slightly reduced, and tensile strength was 30% to 50% improved compared to conventional self-compacting concrete up to 1% of coir fibres incorporation in the SCC mix, after which it rapidly reduced.
