Concrete is the most widely usable material in the world due to its mould ability and fluid behavior at early ages. The construction industry consumes millions of tons of concrete every year in India and other countries. Compaction is done using vibratory applications to achieve workability, required strength and durability in concrete. If compaction is not done in concrete, voids present will affect the performance and long term durability in structures. Self compacting concrete (SCC) can be a solution to this problem. SCC is a flowable, yet stable concrete that can spread readily into place and fill the formwork without any compaction and without undergoing any significant separation. Fibers were added in concrete to improve some of the properties of the concrete. In this study, the Basalt fibers are used in M30 mix of SCC. Two different lengths of basalt fiber i.e. 10 mm and 20 mm were added in three different percentages (percentage is calculated in percentage with respect to weight of cement in the matrix) i.e. 1%, 2% and 3%. 4% of workability (Slump flow value) is decreased at 3% of fiber added. The optimum percent of basalt fiber to be added to SCC is suggested as 2%. When the 2% of basalt fibers were added the flexural strength and spilt tensile strength is increased by 63.5% and 34% respectively
