Experimental Study on Strength Properties of Triple Blended Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete mixture that can self-consolidate under its own weight, and it is one of the most significant advancements in concrete technology in the recent decade. SCC's very fluid character makes it ideal for use in challenging situations and in sections with crowded reinforcing. SCC, which was initially created in the late 1980s, has since expanded around the world, with an ever-growing variety of applications. Because of its unique features, SCC has the potential to significantly improve the quality of concrete buildings while also opening up new areas for concrete use. The addition of treated and untreated industrial byproducts, raw materials, and home wastes to SCC is becoming increasingly popular as a way to make it more durable and cost effective. This not only allows waste materials to be reused, but it also results in a eco-friendly environment. The Strength Characteristics of Self-Compacting Concrete were determined by an experimental investigation (SCC). The goal of this research is to see how Fly Ash (FA), Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), and Silica Fume (SF) can be used as cement substitutes and what influence they have on the fresh and hardened qualities of concrete. The investigation involves the notion of using a triple blend of Fly ash, GGBS, and Silica Fume to produce better concrete. This triple blend takes use of the favorable properties of Pozzolanic materials.
