Abstract
Utilization of Industrial Waste Perlite Powder and Vermiculite in Self Compacting Concrete - written by Dr. P. Muthupriya , K. S. Shobana published on 2020/06/25 download full article with reference data and citations
Highlights
Concrete is a widely used construction material around the world, and its properties have been undergoing changes through technological advancement
It is aimed to investigate the effect of perlite and vermiculite on the fresh properties of Self-Compacting Concrete. Fresh concrete tests such as slump-flow, L- box, T50 slump flow, U-box,V-funnel,V-funnel T5 minutes and J-ring test were conducted. working on the parameters which affect the basic properties of SCC Such plastic viscosity, deformability, flow ability and resistance to segregation, SCC may be proportioned for almost any type concrete structure
The flow ability is maximum when the percentage of perlite powder added in concrete is minimum
Summary
Concrete is a widely used construction material around the world, and its properties have been undergoing changes through technological advancement. The newly developed Polycarboxylic ether based super plasticizer is able to provide high consistence, proper viscosity and long consistence retention even in a small amount and at low Water/Powder ratio. It is especially suitable for self- compacting concrete and is the most commonly used. Fresh concrete tests such as slump-flow, L- box, T50 slump flow, U-box,V-funnel,V-funnel T5 minutes and J-ring test were conducted. working on the parameters which affect the basic properties of SCC Such plastic viscosity, deformability, flow ability and resistance to segregation, SCC may be proportioned for almost any type concrete structure. The results are tabulated in table 1 the result conforms to the IS recommendations
