    In this research the effect of Coconut (CN) fibre on the fresh and thermo gravimetric properties of\nself-compacting concrete (SCC) at elevated temperatures was investigated experimentally and\nstatistically. The mixtures containing cement, water, fly ash, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and\nsuper plasticizer with the addition of CN fibres (0%, 0.05%, 0.10 %, and 0.15%) by volume of the\nmixtures were prepared. The fresh and thermo gravimetric properties of the SCC specimens were\ndetermined after mixing at elevated temperatures (200Ã?Å¡C, 400Ã?Å¡C, and 600Ã?Å¡C) testing in a laboratory.\nThree control specimens with 0% CN fibres were used for every mixture of SCC. Regression\nmodels were developed to determine the responses. The optimum of the CN fibres was measured.
