Abstract
The study showed the evaluation of strength and chloride content of marine self-compacting concrete using silica fume (SF) and silpozz as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The grade of concrete M30 is prepared with w/b ratio of 0.43. Based on several trial mixes, the amount of water reduced by 25% as SP is used in blended SCC, but there is no change for the quantity of materials in OPC concrete. The mechanical properties are compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength which was studied, and it involves the acid soluble chloride (ASC) and water soluble chloride (WSC). It was studied from the test results that SCC containing 5% SF and 10–20% silpozz with doses of SP showed less than 5% deterioration factor (DF) of compressive strength at 365 days. The DF of split tensile strength and flexural strength is 0.96% and 0.6% at 90 days, respectively. The pre-cast blended SCC samples exhibited best performance.
