The use of self-compacting concrete (scc) in general building and civil engineering constructions is becoming popular
over the years ever since it was invented and guide-lines have been formulated by the efnarc (european federation of
national association representing concrete) in 2005. Although in india, we do not have any specific codal provisions for
scc similar to normal concrete, considerable research has been done in both development of scc and its applications with
various admixtures and fibers to enhance the properties of scc in hardened state. As scc is very sensitive to variations
in moisture content and gradation of aggregates, construction sites face difficulties in free flow of scc.
Study of Mechanical Properties in SCC by Blending Cement Partially With Fly A...IJSRD
The development of self-compacting concrete has been one of the most important materials in the modern building industry. The purpose of this concrete concept is to decrease the risk due to human factor. The use of SCC is spreading worldwide because of its very attractive properties. In the present investigation Blended SCC is the one in which some percentage of cement content used for the concrete is replaced by any of the mineral admixtures. Here, the present study to development of blended self-compacting concrete by replaced in the mineral admixtures using Fly ash 0-30% and metakaolin 0-30% as the weight of cement. Study the rheological properties and mechanical properties of developed blended SCC mixes in the laboratory condition and different curing ages. In recent years, many researchers have established that the use of supplementary cementatious materials (SCMs) like blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaolin (MK), fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA) etc. can, not only improve the various properties of concrete both in its fresh and hardened states, but also can contribute to economy in construction costsruning.
Study of Boundary Value Analysis in Structural Engineering and Fluid Mechanic...ijtsrd
This paper presents a focused study on properties of porous concrete to widen its application to structural engineering. Mechanical properties like compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, flexural strength and physical properties like density, permeability and porosity are studied. To determine those parameters, twenty seven cubes, cylinders and prisms were tested. Also, three polymer impregnated porous concrete slabs were tested under pure bending moment to study the efficiency of selected resin to integrate particle of concrete to achieve a new generation in using porous concrete in structural engineering. Three different cement content specimens of porous concrete were considered, studied cement contents are 200 kg m3, 300 kg m3 and 400 kg m3. The results show that, increasing the cement content can increase the compressive strength, indirect tensile strength and flexural strength. Density of porous concrete is less than conventional concrete by 21 but permeability factor recorded higher value compared to conventional concrete by sixteen times. Increasing the cement content has no significant effect on either ultimate load or maximum deflection of polymer impregnated porous concrete slabs but the results recorded an achievement to use this concrete in structural engineering applications and give an easy way to cast special concrete like polymer concrete without special tools.

Study on Properties of Fresh and Hardened Self Compacting Concrete with Varie...IOSRJMCE
The objective of this paper is to study the properties of fresh and hardened self compacting concrete with varied percentages of metakaolin as mineral admixture (M40 grade). In this study cement is replaced by metakoalin with varied percentages, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 36% & 38% with a constant packing factor of 1.14. In the present study, B233 GLENIUM super plasticizer is used. As per the European guidelines for Self-compacting concrete, the workability tests such as slump flow test, V-funnel test and L- box, U-box test were carried out in laboratory. The concrete specimens were cured in the tank for 7 and 28 days and tested for determining the compressive strength and split tensile strength and flexural strength respectively. From the study it is observed that workability and mechanical properties such as Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength test increased with increase in metakoalin up to 30% and decreased from 32% to 38%. Non Destructive Test is also performed to assess the quality of concrete in the hardened state.
This study comparatively evaluated the quality, performance and utilization limits of
three locally manufactured cement brands in Botswana using the laboratory experiments conducted
on mortar and concrete specimens produced from the brands. The study identified the physical
characteristics of three cement brands designated A, B and C, as well as the strength and durability of
the concrete and mortar produced from such cements under varying operational and exposure
conditions to establish a limit of application for each cement considered. The physical tests performed
on cement were loss on ignition (LOI) and particle size distribution. Compressive strength test and
the resistance to carbonate and sulphate attack were investigated on concrete and mortar. Cement
type A had similar physical characteristics to C but proved to be the most workable compared to the
other cements. It however produced the lowest strength in both concrete and mortar but showed
desirable durability limits. Durability assessment of the cement-based products found cement type B
as the best with the most desirable physical properties. Cement type B gave the highest strength in
concrete, while cement type C was found to be the most suitable for mortar.

ternary blended concrete. In the investigation, M25 Grade concrete mix is designed with different
percentages of cementitious materials (5%, 7.5%, 10% & 12.5%) and tests are conducted for
compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure strengths at 7, 28 and 56 days. Test results
indicate that the replacement of cement by 10% had attained a maximum strength in M25 Grade
concrete. The results obtained thus are encouraging for partial replacement.

Experimental Investigations on Fresh Properties of Binary and Ternary Blended...AbdulRazakBH
Abstract--- Binder-chemical admixture compatibility plays a vital role in deciding the performance of concrete especially in the fresh state. Optimum dosage of chemical admixture is helpful in controlling various fresh properties of Self Compacting Concrete(SCC) and avoiding the problems of segregation and bleeding in blended concrete with mineral admixtures such as Ground granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBS) and Alccofine(Ultrafine GGBS). The study focusses on optimization of chemical admixture dosage for binary and ternary blended concrete for the production of SCC. Various combinations of binary blended concrete and ternary blended concrete along with control mix(only OPC) are tested for workability properties for passing ability, filling ability and and resistance to segregation(V-Funnel Time). It was observed that concrete containing higher GGBS required lesser dosage of chemical admixture for satisfying workability properties as per EFNAARC guidelines. Alccofinewas added at 5% to compensate for hardened properties.

Self-compacting Concrete Study using Recycled Asphalt Pavement Incorporating ...IJCMESJOURNAL
This research evaluates the feasibility of using recycles asphalt pavement (RAP) and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in self consolidating concrete (SCC). The fresh, mechanical and durability properties of SCC mixtures were investigated. A total of sixteen mixtures divided into four groups with different RAP proportions: 0, 15, 30, and 55% replacing the natural coarse aggregate (NCA), and different percentages of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) replacing cement:60% Fly ash (FA), 60% ground granulated blast furnace slag (S), and 30% FA and 30% S. Constant water to cementitious materials ratio of 0.4 was maintained in all mixtures. The compressive strengths at 3, 14 and 28 days and split tensile strength at 28 days were tested. The durability characteristics including the unrestrained shrinkage strain and rapid chloride permeability (RCPT) tests were conducted. The results show that while the use of RAP reduces both the compressive and tensile strengths of SCC mixtures, it increases the resistance to chloride permeability.
STUDY OF MACRO LEVEL PROPERTIES OF SCC USING SILICA FUME AND FLY ASH BY USING...IAEME Publication
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and
utilization of industrial by products. Many power plants and electro static precipitators will
produce millions of tons waste powder every year. Having considerable high degree of
fineness in comparison to cement this material may be utilized as a partial replacement to
cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using fly
ash powder in the production of SCC with combined use SILICAFUME and how it affects the
fresh and mechanical properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with SILICA
FUME in 10% and fly ash powder is blended to mix in percentage like 25% as a partial
replacement to cement. Here we use manufacture sand as fine aggregate. By taking fineness
modulus 2.5,2.7,2.9 .Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 10% SILICA
FUME and 25% fly ash powder with fineness modulus 2.7 satisfies filling ability and passing
ability and hardened properties are also in the limits prescribed by the EFNARC.
This research represents an experimental study on influence of urea on concrete through various tests on urea, cement, concrete and water. Test of finesses modulus, slump test, carbonation test, pH test, urea ingression test and increase in strength with urea percentage .This study deals to overcome three major problems in the concrete namely heat of hydration, permeability, and corrosion of steel bar embedded in concrete. Urea can generally reduce the temperature of concrete both at casting phase and during the procedure of hydration.

A BRIEF EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON METAKOLIN ADMIXED CONCRETE WITH AND WITHOUT RIC...AM Publications
The most important objective of this study is to evaluate the possibilities of usage of Metakaolin in concrete. The researches will also focus on the potentiality of hybrid blending by Metakaolin and rice husk ash. The latter mineral incineration could reduce the demands for fossil and electrical energy, required for producing mono-blends with Metakaolin. The development of a sound technology requires investigating effects exerted by the mineral admixture on the strength of the cementitious materials. Replacement percentage has to be varied to that end and different accounts of mixing water have to be considered. Strength should be recorded at early age and in the more mature state of material. This paper represents the results of an experimental investigations carried out to find the suitability of Metakaolin (MK) only and Metakaolin with and without rice husk ash (RHA) in production of concrete. In this experimental study the effect of MK and RHA on strength of the concrete was studied, the referral concrete M30 was made using 53 Grade OPC and the other mixes were prepared by replacing part of OPC with MK and MK with RHA. The replacement levels were 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% up to 20% (by weight) for Metakaolin. Test results indicate that use of replacement cement by Metakaolin in concrete has improved performance of concrete up to 15% to 20%.

EVALUATION OF CEMENTING EFFICIENCY IN QUATERNARY BLENDED SELF-COMPACTING CONC...IAEME Publication
The contribution of metakaolin (MK) to any property of hardened concrete may be
expressed in terms of efficiency factor, k. For this new material to be generally
accepted by the building industry, a good durability must be proven also in
quantitative terms. Therefore a big challenge for researchers within this field is to
determine the strength efficiency of metakaolin (MK) in binary, ternary and
quaternary blended SCC mixes. For calculating the efficiency of Metakaolin,
microsilica and fly ash combination in binary and ternary blended SCC, an equation
has been proposed by author based on the principle of Bolomey’s equation for
predicting the strength of concrete containing mineral admixtures. The strength
efficiency factor ‘k’ is evaluated for three cases in quaternary blended SCC mixes: (1)
micro silica (MS) is singly blended in SCC, (2) micro silica (MS) is blended with fly
ash (FA) in SCC and (3) Metakaolin (MK) is blended with micro silica (MS) and fly
ash (FA) SCC mix. The computed efficiency factors may be incorporated in the design
of a blended concrete mixture, a method known as rational proportioning. The k value
can be used to transform a certain amount of pozzolan to an equivalent amount of
cement in terms of strength contribution; hence, it can be used as a basis for a more
efficient proportioning of blended SCC mixes.

INFLUENCE OF VISCOSCITY MODIFYING ADMIXTURES ON FRESH AND HARDENED PROPERTIES...Ijripublishers Ijri
The use of self-compacting concrete (scc) in general building and civil engineering constructions is becoming popular
over the years ever since it was invented and guide-lines have been formulated by the efnarc (european federation of

Response Surface Analysis of the Compressive Strength of Self-Compacting Con...AJAYI SAMUEL
This research developed a mathematical model and optimization of materials for the development of metakaolin
self-compacting concrete. This is in a bid to reduce the overall material quantity and cost towards sustainable
infrastructural construction. To achieve the aim of this research, Response Surface Analysis (RSM) was used.
Kaolinitic clay was De-hydroxylated at 750°C to form metakaolin. This was used as a partial replacement for
cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% weight of Portland limestone cement. Both strength and rheology
properties of the developed metakaolin self-compacting concrete were assessed. To this end, slump flow, L-Box
test and V-funnel test were carried out alongside the compressive strength using relevant standard. The result of
the research revealed that at 15% addition of metakaolin the slump flow, passing ability and filling ability was
unsatisfactory according to EFNARC standard. From the numerical optimization of the compressive strength, the
maximum predicted compressive strength of 44.35 N/mm2
was obtained. At a low value of metakaolin addition
(5–15%), the compressive strength increased as the age of the concrete increased from 3–150 days. The age with
the optimum mechanical strength formation was 110 days with metakaolin addition of 52.73 kg. The result of this
research provide a database for Engineers, Researchers and Construction workers on the optimum metakaolin
required to achieve satisfactory mechanical strength in metakaolin self-compacting concrete.

Conventional concrete is the most widely used construction material throughout the world because of its versality, mouldability, durability, and resistance to fire and energy efficiency. However, its major disadvantages like poor tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking resists its use as a structural material. Hence, in order to overcome these difficulties several new materials have been developed in the recent past.Admixtures are ingredients other than water, aggregates, hydraulic cement and fibers that are added to the concrete batch immediately before or during mixing. Mineral admixtures are usually added to concrete in larger amounts to enhance the workability of fresh concrete, to improve resistance of concrete to thermal cracking, alkali-aggregate expansion and sulphate attack and to enable a reduction in cement content. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of various mineral admixtures in producing SCC. In this study the scope of GGBS ( Ground granular blast furnace slag ) as a mineral admixture to some percentage replace cement in SCC were studied. The study showed that a maximum of 50% GGBS were able to be used as a mineral admixture without affecting the self-compactability
