ABSTRACT
Green concrete can be achieved using waste products generated from industries. This study targets to develop a green and sustainable concrete composite by combining fly ash and sisal fiber in steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete with meta kaolin. The durability properties such as water absorption, porosity, acid attack, chloride ion diffusion, and rate of corrosion are studied. Cement was partially replaced by fly ash at 30% and meta kaolin at 10% by the weight of cementitious content. Hooked-end steel fiber was added at 1.5%, and sisal fiber was varied from 0.1% to the rate of 0.1%. It has been found that the saturated water absorption and chloride ion diffusion are considerably reduced over the control specimen. Passive or negligible corrosion has been experienced in all specimens. The addition of fibers disconnects the continuity of pores and thus improves the durability properties.
