3. A EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE
WHEN SUBJECTED TO ELEVATED TEMPERATURE
Introduction
• Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is defined as concrete that has an ability
to flow under its own weight, to fill the required space or formwork
completely and to produce a dense and adequately homogenous material
without a need for vibrating compaction.
• Self-compacting concrete (SCC) was first developed in 1988 in Japan due
to the gradual reduction of skilled labor in the construction industry.
Okamura and Ouchy (2003) pointed out that SCC can be achieved without
segregation and high deformability in the following three ways, i.e.
limiting aggregate content, low water : binder ratio and the use of super
plasticizer. Nowadays SCC is gaining popularity throughout the world
because of its interesting structural properties.

It is observed that, in
comparison with zero thermal
cycles, there is a decrease in
strength (C &T) values with
increase in thermal cycles @
1000C & 1200C for both 7 & 28
days cured SCC specimens of all
4 mix proportions.

Strength increases as
thermal cycle increases for
both the mixes although the
% increase reduces for 28
days curing.
With the mix BP with 90%
cement + 10% Silica Fume
has shown higher flexural
and compressive strength.
It was observed that flexural
strength was very sensitive
to temperatures. Residual
flexural strengths ranged
between (78-99%) at 200 oC,
(64-94%) at 400oC and (56-
83%) at 600 oC for mixes (R,
ST1 and ST2) at all ages.

After exposure to high
temperature, the
flexural behaviour and
the fracture energy of
all samples decrease,
and the higher the
maximum exposure
temperature, the lower
the toughness
parameters and
fracture energy.

SCC mixes developed 28
days compressive strength
ranging from 21.43 to
40.68 MPa and splitting
tensile strength ranging
from 1.35 to 3.60 MPa. Test
results clearly show that
there is little improvement
in compressive strength
within temperature range
of 200–300 °C as com-
pared to 20–200 °C but
there is little reduction in
splitting tensile strength

SCC mixtures had a
higher resistance to
elevated temperature
up to 200oC than NC,
while at 300oC and
400oC the resistance
was less and the
reduction increases with
the increase of silica
fume ratio and water
cement ratio.

Results show that using
different types of fillers
leads to large variations in
the compressive and tensile
strengths of SCC at elevated
temperatures, however the
corresponding variations in
the modulus of elasticity
are insignificant.

The flexural strength can
increase up to 30 % and
an increase in the amount
of paste in dosage,
facilitating the appearance
of cracks. Hence use of low
amounts of polypropylene
microfibers can solve the
cracking problem.
