Self-compacting Concrete (scc)

Effect of Mineral Admixture on Properties of Self Compacting Concrete

In this study, the benefits of limestone powder (LP) and marble powder (MP) as partial replacement of Portland cement are established. Furthermore, LP and MP are used directly without attempting any additional processing in the production of selfcompacting concrete (SCC). The water to binder ratio is maintained at 0.33 for all mixtures. The examined properties include workability, compressive s...

Strain and Damage Sensing Property of Self-compacting Concrete Reinforced with Carbon Fibers

Present paper investigated the strain and damage sensing property on concrete cubes embedded with carbon fibers. Concrete cubes of dimension 150 mm have been casted with different concentration of carbon fibers to study the strain and damage sensing property under cyclic loading that can be further used for health monitoring as non-destructive testing (NDT) approach. All the specimens were test...

Estimation of mechanical and durability properties of self-compacting concrete with fibers using ultrasonic pulse velocity

In this research, the performance of ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in concrete is examined as a nondestructive experiment in order to estimate mechanical (compressive and tensile strength) and durability (water absorption) properties of fiber-reinforced self-compacted concrete For this purpose 11 mixture designs containing 3 types of fibers (steel: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 percent by volume, Pol...

Mechanical Behavior of Self-Compacting Reinforced Concrete Including Synthetics and Steel Fibers

This paper investigated the effects of combining fibers with self-consolidating concrete (SCC). 12 series of test specimens were prepared using three kinds of fibers including steel, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and glass fibers with four different volumes fractions and one specimen without fibers as a reference sample. All plans were subjected to fresh concrete tests. For mechanical behavior of...
