Behaviour of Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete under Elevated Temperature

A review is presented based on experimental studies on the performance of Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete (FR-SCC) when exposed to higher temperature. Fires and aggressive environment affect the durability of different types of concretes, so experimental investigation of concrete deterioration is very essential. Primarily the Compressive strength of Fiber Reinforced Self Compacting Concrete were investigated for their response in terms of compressive strength by casting cubical specimen of FR-SSC M30 grade with 1% and 0.5% of fibers (Steel and Polypropylene fibers) heated for 2 hrs and 4 hrs of duration and comparative variable effect of fiber by volume fractions at elevated temperatures for different duration of heat were done. Strength of concrete, type of cement, type of aggregate, water cement ratio, density of concrete, percentage of reinforcement, cover to the reinforcement etc are some of the important factors that affect the performance of concrete at elevated temperature.
