In general, the addition of fibers in concrete mix significantly improves many of the engineering properties of concrete. On the other hand, steel fibers reduce the workability of concrete. This paper presents the effect of steel-fiber length (aspect ratio) and content on bleeding of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Two different steel fiber types (both is hooked-end) were used at a ratio of 0% (control), 0.3%, 0.64%, 1% and 1.3% by volume. Slump, Ve-Be test, air content and unit weight were determined experimentally. Specimens were poured in the standard moulds and the bleeding water content was measured 30min, 60min, 90min, 120min, 150min and 180min after starting the test. The results indicated that the workability of concrete significantly reduced as the fiber dosage rate increases. This was assessed through standard slump test and Ve-Be consistometer test. The bleeding water content was increased by …
