ABSTRACT
The influence of two different types of admixtures on the durability of steel fibre concrete made with ordinary Portland cement and sulphate resistant cement is studied. Durability is assessed by measuring the water absorption, the compressive strength and the action of sulphate ions at elevated temperature of 100X humidity. Good results have been achieved by using fibres for durability properties. The performance of concrete made with sulphate resistant cement gives some differences compared with that made of ordinary portland cement. A noticeable improvement in the durability of fibre reinforced concrete was found when cured in elevated temperature of 100% humidity.
