Abstract

This paper discuss assets chemical resistance test of self-compacting concrete made with different percentage of steel fibres and without steel fiber and fly ash. Three different mix designs are expressed to carry out this test. The cubes are cast and cured for 28 days in clean water and immersed in three different chemical solutions like 5% sulphate, 5% Alkali, and 5% sulphuric acid for a period of 50 days. After the 50 days period, percentage of weight loss and percentage of loss of strength in three different chemical like sulphate, Alkali, sulphuric acid attack are found out. The test results conclude that the specimens which are immersed in 5% sulphuric acid have created important damage. The weight loss and strength loss was found in Sulphuric acid immersion. The obtained values of the percentage strength loss were 19.4% 16.2% and 14.2% and weight loss 0.48% 0.45% and 0.43% respectively.
