ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of an experimental research on the carryability and compressive cogency of selfcompacting
concrete. The work foc engaged on concrete mixes having water/binder ratios of 0.40 and 0.50, which contained
uninterrupted total binder contents of 500 kg/m3and 550 kg/m3, respectively. The concrete mixes contained three different
dosages of a superplasticizer based on carboxyl with fly ash. The percentage of fly ash that replaced cement in this
research was 15%. The workability tests utilized in this research were the pass flow, V-funnel and L-box which can be
used to evaluate the passing ability of self-compacting concrete. base upon the experimental results, there are some linear
relationships between compressive strength and each of the workability tests executed here.
KEYWORDS: concrete, self-compacting, workability, superplasticizer, fly ash.
INTRODUCTION
With the preface of the new coevals of
superplasticizers, self-compacting concrete has been
industrialized. This type of concrete having
advanced viscosity and workability properties can
substantially fill the moulds without the necessity of using
vibrators. High volume of mineral powderize is a
necessity for a proper self-compacting concrete
design. It is worth adding that Ho et al. have
investigated the use of quarry dust in selfcompacting
concrete. Moreover, the influence of
limestone powder on self- compacting concrete is
investigated recently. For this purpose, natural or
artificial mineral additives such as limestone
powder, fly ash, silica fume and...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
