Abstract: This study highlights the fresh state flow properties and hardened state compressive strength properties of short carbon fibre reinforced selfcompacting concrete. 15 mixes with varying W/C ratio, cement content, and the percentage of carbon fibres were investigated. The impact of the variations on the self-compacting concrete was analysed by comparing the mixes to the control mix. The present study investigations revealed a decrease in filling and passing ability of CFRSCC with the addition of higher percentages of carbon fibres while the addition of carbon fibre at lower percentage exhibits improvement in the filling, passing and segregation resistance properties. It was also observed that with the inclusion of short carbon fibres, the compressive strength was significantly improved. The microstructure of the CFRSCC with different percentages of Carbon fibre was also analysed and is presented in this study.
