Studies On Behavior Of Fiber Reinforced Concrete By Incorporating Alccofine

Abstract

The paper examines challenges in steel fiber reinforced concrete design and proposes solutions using alccofine in mix design. Alccofine replaced cement at ratios of 7%, 14%, 21%, and 28% for 7 and 28-day curing, resulting in enhanced durability for global applications. Introducing alccofine significantly boosted compressive and flexural strength of fiber reinforced concrete. Steel fibers offer high tensile strength and fire resistance, reducing fire damage, while also controlling plastic and drying shrinkage, elevating toughness, energy absorption, ductility, crack resistance, and durability. This review summarizes these findings and derives conclusions for practical use.
