Abstract
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) addresses the challenges of poor compaction in traditional concrete, offering superior flowability without mechanical vibration. However, SCC’s higher cost, due to superplasticizers and high cement content, can be mitigated using Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) like fly ash and silica fume. SCMs improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete by refining its pore structure. Ternary blended concrete (TBC), combining two SCMs as partial cement replacements, optimizes these benefits while addressing individual SCM limitations.
Despite its advantages, SCC has poor tensile strength, impact resistance, and brittleness. Adding glass fibers, which enhance mechanical properties and reduce shrinkage cracks, mitigates these issues. This study evaluated the fresh, mechanical, and durability properties of TBC blends and glass fiber-reinforced SCC. Among the tested blends, TBC9, comprising 70% Ordinary Portland Cement, 20% fly ash, and 10% silica fume, demonstrated superior mechanical and durability properties.
Introducing alkali-resistant glass fibers to TBC9 improved splitting tensile strength by 17% and increased energy absorption, though higher fiber content reduced compressive strength. Overall, the optimal TBC9 blend with glass fibers enhanced SCC’s tensile and impact strengths while maintaining workability and durability. These findings highlight the potential of TBC and fiber reinforcement to advance SCC applications in construction.

1.INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an innovative type of concrete that flows under its own weight without requiringmechanicalvibration,ensuringuniformcompactioneveninheavilyreinforcedorcomplexstructural elements.IntroducedinJapanduringthelate1980stoaddresschallengessuchaspoorcompactionandlabor shortages,SCChasgainedprominenceworldwideduetoitseaseofplacementandenhanceddurability.SCC's ability to flow through congested reinforcement zones without segregation is attributed to its unique mix design, which incorporates a higher percentage of fine aggregate relative to coarse aggregate (Hajime and Masahiro, 2003). The mix design is further optimized using superplasticizers and viscosity-modifying agents to achieve filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance, as described by Paulo Ricardo et al. (2019).
Although SCC offers several advantages, such as reduced noise pollution during placement and suitability for intricate architectural structures, its high cementitious content contributes to increased costs (EFNARC, 2005). Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) like fly ash and silica fume are often used to partially replace cement, reducingcostsandimproving durability.Flyash,a by-productof coal combustion,andsilica fume, derived from the silicon industry, contribute to pore refinement, strength enhancement, and environmentalsustainability(Kavithaetal.,2015;SamahbhanjaandSengupta,2003).
Additionally,theinclusion offibers,suchasalkali-resistantglassfibers,addresses SCC’sinherent brittleness,low tensile strength, and poor impact resistance. These fibers improve mechanical properties and restrict crack propagation but must be optimally dosed to maintain SCC's workability (Rao et al., 2012). This study investigatesthe formulation ofternary blendedSCC incorporating SCMsand fibers toimprovethe material's mechanicalanddurabilitypropertieswhileminimizingcostsandaddressingenvironmentalconcerns.

The scope of work for this project encompasses the comprehensive planning, static analysis, and design of a G+20 residential building located in Hyderabad. The primary objective is to create an efficient and safe structural design that adheres to Indian Standard Codes, specifically IS 456:2000 for the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures, and IS 1893 (Part 1): 2016 for seismic design considerations. The project involves a detailed examination of keystructuralelementssuchasbeams,columns,slabs,andfoundationstoensuretheirsafety,strength,andstabilityunder variousloads.
The design process will begin with functional planning to ensure the building’s layout is efficient for residential use, incorporating considerations for space utilization, aesthetics, and user needs. Static analysis will be performed using ETABSsoftwaretoevaluatethebuilding’sresponsetodifferentloads,includingdeadloads,liveloads,andenvironmental factors such as wind and seismic forces. The seismic analysis will specifically address the building’s behavior in a region pronetoearthquakes,aspertheguidelinessetinIS1893(Part1):2016[11]
Following the analysis, detailed structural design of the building components will be carried out, focusing on the reinforcement details of beams, columns, and slabs, ensuring they can withstand the expected loads. Emphasis will be placedonstructuraldetailingtopreventissuessuchascracking,deformation,orfailure,ensuringlong-termdurabilityand safety.

The principles of building planning are crucial for ensuring a structure is functional, comfortable, and efficient. Key principlesinclude aspect,whichoptimizestheplacementofdoorsandwindowstomaximizenaturallightandventilation; prospect, focusing on creating pleasant external views while screening out undesirable ones; privacy, maintaining both internal and external privacy; and grouping, which organizes rooms for convenience and comfort, minimizing unnecessary circulation space. Roominess emphasizes maximizing usable space through thoughtful room proportions, while furniture requirements ensure there is adequate space for essential furnishings. Circulation involves providing easy access between rooms, with well-planned horizontal and vertical movement paths. Sanitation ensures proper ventilation, lighting, and cleanliness to maintain hygiene standards. Flexibility in design allows for future modifications and adaptability, while elegance contributes to the building’s aesthetic appeal. Lastly, economy focuses on costeffectiveness by optimizing space usage and eliminating unnecessary elements.
