| Abstract: |
In this paper, development of self-consolidated high strength lightweight steel fiber concrete (SCHSLWSFC) with local materials in the United Arab Emirates is discussed. The experimental investigation consisted of two phases. Phase I dealt with the development to achieve workability, density, and strength targets with different steel fiber percentages. Evaluation of the mechanical properties was conducted in Phase II. Results from both phases showed that volumetric steel fiber percentages up to 0.65% could be used to achieve a SCHSLWSFC mix which has a 28-day compressive strength of 53 MPa (7600 psi) and density of 1950 kg/m³ (121 lb/ft³). Results of the experimental investigation will be presented and discussed. |
