Abstract :

This experimental investigation looked at how the addition of steel fibres, fly ash, and alcofine to concrete sample affected some of its mechanical properties. This project's goal is to use steel fibre, ash, and aluminium fines to generate concrete that is more ductile and strong. The trials included two different types of steel fibres, with steel fibre volume percentages ranging from 0.5% to 4.0%. By weight of the cementitious material composition, Alcofine and fly ash were added to the concrete in quantities of 5 and 10, respectively. The ratio of water to cement was 0.27. Concrete specimens that had been hardened underwent testing for both flexural and compressive strength. The use of Alcofine improved the concrete's mechanical strength.
