Lightweight Self-consolidating Concrete with Expanded Shale Aggregates: Modelling and Optimization

Rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete made by crushed waste tile aggregates

In recent decades, the use of self-consolidating concrete has become widespread. Hence, recognizing the various properties of self-consolidating concrete are essential. In this study, several mixture designs have been tested and final mixture design of crushed tile aggregates which were replaced by 0%, 25 %, 50%, and 100% volume percentage of natural aggregates were conducted. To evaluate fresh...

internal curing of high strength self consolidating concrete by saturated lightweight aggregate - effects on material properties

self-desiccation is the major source of autogenous shrinkage and crack formation in low water-binder ratio (w/b) concretes which can be reduced by internal curing. in this paper performance of high strength self consolidating concrete (hs-scc) with w/b of 0.28 and 0.33 including autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, compressive strength, and resistance to freezing-thawing was investigated. th...

Autogenous Shrinkage of Prestressed Self-Consolidating Concrete

Shrinkage can be critical factor for the design of structural members due to the length changes by the timedependent deformation. Given the high fluidity and different mixture proportions of SCC, the shrinkage of such concrete can differ from those of conventional concrete or HPC of normal consistency. Proper estimate of autogenous shrinkage of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) can provide engi...

Bond behavior of self consolidating concrete

The new generation of innovative projects has led to the use of greater amounts of reinforcement and the development of concrete with specific characteristics. It is necessary to use a material that ensures the uniformity of the cross section, as well as the adherence of the existing reinforcement, and due to this, the self-consolidating concrete becomes an technique alternative has great poten...
