Fresh properties tested include air content, workability, temperature, and plastic unit weight. Tests on the mechanical properties include compressive strength, elastic modulus, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and fatigue life. Sixteen different combinations of parameters were investigated. Identifies optimal mixes that satisfied the minimum compressive strength criterion and showed excellent values of modulus of rupture, toughness indices in bending, and fatigue life in the cracked state.Provides an extensive database and a summary of a comprehensive experimental investigation of the fresh state and mechanical properties of high early strength fiber reinforced concrete.
