EVALUATION OF CEMENTING EFFICIENCY OF QUATERNARY BLENDED HIGH STRENGTH SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

performance characteristics of carbon-nanofiber blended self compacting concrete

semiconducting carbon nanofibers (cnf) are prepared from three different sources, i.e., acetylene, ethanol, and cotton by the chemical vapor deposition (cvd) process. these fibers are having rich elastic, engineering and conductivity properties. fresh self-compacting concrete (scc) flows into place and around obstructions under its own weight to fill the formwork completely and self-compact, wi...

Relation between the Workability and Strength of Self-compacting Concrete

This paper presents the results of an experimental research on the workability and compressive strength of self-compacting concrete. The work focused on concrete mixes having water/binder ratios of 0.35 and 0.45, which contained constant total binder contents of 500 kg/m and 400 kg/m, respectively. The concrete mixes contained four different dosages of a superplasticizer based on carboxylic wit...

Evaluation of Cementing Efficiency of Flyash in Concrete

-The simple replacement technique of cement by fly ash in concrete does not produce a concrete with desirable early strength which is a significant parameter of present day emphasis of speedier construction. Increasing the amount of flyash replacement slows down the strength development at early ages. For effective mix proportioning of fly ash concrete, cementing efficiency factor has to be tak...

Ultra High Performance Self Compacting Concrete

Experiences in the development of Ultra High Performance Concrete found a very high flowability in concrete with low water powder ratio. Because of the high viscosity of the cement paste, compaction was necessary. To improve the compaction characteristics of the concrete the idea of adding coarse aggregate was developed. The first tests showed a good workability of the fresh concrete and a good...
