Abstract

This research investigates the innovative design of steel fibers and their effects on the soft computing methodologies applied to steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC). The study aims to enhance the mechanical properties and durability of SFRSCC through the strategic integration of steel fibers, utilizing advanced soft computing techniques. The fraction of steel fibers of the SFRSCC is 0.5 vol.%,1.5 vol.% and 2.0 vol.% respectively. In conclusion, the research underscores the potential of SFRSCC as a high-performance material that addresses the challenges faced in contemporary construction. By leveraging innovative design strategies and advanced computational techniques, the study contributes to the ongoing evolution of concrete technology, paving the way for more sustainable and efficient building practices. Future research should continue to explore the longterm durability and environmental impact of SFRSCC, further solidifying its role in the advancement of construction materials.
