Abstract
Despite various advantages and increased demand for steel fiber reinforced concrete in the construction industry, its drawback about low workability remains the same. This causes time-consuming construction and higher labour efforts. This study aims to perform experiments on the workability of SFRC by adding various admixtures. Fly Ash, Alkaline solution (NaOH solution), and viscosity-enhancing agent (poly-carboxylate ether) are the additives used to study their effect on the workability of SFRC. Different methods and contents were used for the study of these additives. The workability of fresh concrete was examined by a slump cone test. The effect of additives on the 7 days compressive strength was also studied.
