Abstract: Today many countries are producing self compacting concrete (SCC) and it is known that SCC has many advantages compared to conventional concrete. In order to improve tensile strength of concrete steel fibers can be added in concrete. Although fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is being produced in Cyprus for a long time, SCC is a new product for construction industry. Therefore, combination of SCC & FRC would bring many benefits. This study was split into 3 parts. First part was based on the design of FRC 2 different fibers namely steel and polymer. Second part was based on designing SCC with locally available materials of Cyprus in addition to chemical additives. The third part was based on combination of SCC and FRC. Produced self compacting fiber reinforced concrete (SCFRC) was tested for fresh mix properties such as flow spread, T50, L-box, V-funnel, and hardened properties such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and permeability. The results have shown that the addition of fibers improve hardened properties. It has also been found that better workability can be obtained for SCFRC by adjusting w/c ratio and admixture.
