- This paper presents an innovative modelling technique to simulate the flow of self-compacting concrete (SCC) with or without short steel fibres in the L-box test. The simulation of SCC without fibres focuses on the distribution of large aggregates (8mm or larger) during the flow. The simulation of self-compacting high-performance concrete containing short steel fibres focuses on the distribution and orientation of fibres during the flow. The accuracy of the chosen modelling approach is demonstrated by directly comparing the computer simulations against experimental observations.
