AB [EN] The higher paste volume in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) makes it susceptible to have a higher creep coefficientand cracking and has brittle nature. This brittle nature of concrete is unacceptable for any construction industry. Theaddition of fibers is one of the most prevalent methods to enhance the ductile and tensile behavior of concrete. Fibersreduce the cracking phenomena and improve the energy absorption capacity of the structure. Conversely, the additionof fibers has a negative impact on the workability of fresh concrete. In this research work, a detailed investigation ofthe influence of Nylon fibers (NFs) on fresh properties, durability, and mechanical properties of SCC was carried out.NFs were added into concrete mixes in a proportion of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight of cement to achieve theresearch objectives. Durability assessment of modified SCC having Nylon fibers was performed using water absorption,permeability, carbonation resistance, and acid attack resistant. Mechanical tests (compressive and tensile) were conductedfor modified as well as control mix. Test results indicate that the passing and filling ability decreased while segregationand bleeding resistance increased with NFs. Furthermore, test results showed a significant increase in strength up to1.5% addition of nylon fibers and then strength decreases gradually. Durability parameters were significantly improvedwith the incorporation of NFs relative to the control mix. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of using nylonfibers in self-compacting concrete with improved durability and mechanical properties.
