  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the impact of incorporating 1% glass fiber into Self- Compacting Concrete (SCC), with a focus on durability, microstructure analysis, and flexural strength. Durability tests were performed to evaluate the long-term performance of fiber- reinforced SCC under different environmental conditions. Advanced imaging techniques were used for microstructure analysis to examine the internal composition and distribution of fibers within the concrete matrix. Flexural strength tests were conducted to measure the improvement in mechanical properties due to the glass fiber addition. The results indicate that adding 1% glass fiber notably enhances the durability, refines the microstructure, and boosts the flexural strength of SCC, making it a promising material for sustainable and resilient construction.
