An experimental study on strength and durability properties of self-compacting and self-curing concrete using light weight aggregates

Concrete is a material that often used in the construction industry due to its strong compressive strength and durability. Currently, lot of research being done find new ways increase performance. One these ideas what led creation self-compacting. accepted as most cutting-edge development concrete building industry. Self-Compacting becoming more popular for usage overloaded reinforced constructions with difficult casting circumstances. High rise buildings multi storey need light weight so there investigate on lightweight concrete. The mechanical physical properties self-compacting, self-curing, light-weight are created this study by replacing natural aggregate fly ash expanded clay at percentages 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. Calotropis gigantia, self-curing agent, incorporated 4% volume cement super plasticizer order maintain workability M30 grade mix proportion self-compacting 1:2.04:1.17 water ratio 0.4.
