Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) was an innovation in concrete that could compact itself, with high flowability and workability. SCC did not require mechanical vibration in the placement process within formwork volumes. The purpose of this research was to determine the characteristics of SCC with the addition of the Viscocrete 3115N admixture and to determine the compressive strength of SCC with the addition of synthetic micro fiber variations of 0%; 0.20%; 0.25%; 0.30%. The materials used were sand from the Pinang River and a maximum size split of 20mm from Lahat, which had been tested and all materials met the requirements. The test results showed Slump Flow values of 70cm; 70cm; 69cm; 66cm, L-Box test values of 0.93; 0.90; 0.87; 0.85, V-Funnel test values of 7 s; 7 s; 8 s; 10 s, and compressive strength tests on cylindrical specimens (15x30) were conducted at 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. The 28-day compressive strength values were BS 26.42 MPa; BSSS 0.20% 26.89 MPa; BSSS 0.25% 27.08 MPa; BSSS 0.30% 27.13 MPa. The percentage increase was 1.8%; 0.7%; 0.18%, with the most optimal increase occurring at 0.20% fiber content. Fiber content of 0.30% reduced the fresh concrete properties of SCC, but the values still met the requirements.
