Abstract: Fibre reinforced concrete with steel fibres attracted the attention of engineers and researchers during the last five decades. In recent times self-compacting concrete has been accepted as a quality product and are widely used. A large number of studies are available with respect to several parameters viz., load deflection behavior, toughness, flexural strength, ductility, effects of beam dimensions, concrete filling sequence, flexural toughness parameters, crack control etc. of fibre Reinforced Concrete. The present study aims to study the flexural behavior of SFRSCC and SFRNC slabs with steel fibres.
