Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an engineered concrete, which possesses many desirable qualities, like better flowability and high cohesiveness. It consolidates on its own weight, without segregation of aggregates, and it needs no vibration for its compaction. Above all, industrial wastes like fly ash and silica fume can also be added as mineral additives, thereby making it a sustainable material. When fibres are included in SCC, resulting in Fibre Reinforced SCC (FRSCC), its performance improves still further. The current study is an experimental investigation, which involves the addition of four different types of fibres, namely, AR glass fibres, Carbon fibre, Recron 3s fibres and human hair (a waste material fibre) fibres, to SCC. These fibres are added in varying volume fractions and their properties in the fresh and hardened states have been evaluated. A comparative analysis of the properties of these FRSCC has also been carried out to identify as to which type of fibre, and at which volume fraction, provides better behaviour; cost-effectiveness is a factor of concern too. © 2014 International Information Institute.
