Rapid Chloride Permeability Test on Self-Compacting High Performance Green Concrete

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is one of the most significant advances in concrete technology in the last two decades. SCC was developed to ensure adequate compaction through self-consolidation and facilitate placement of concrete in structures with congested reinforcement and in restricted areas. Marble Sludge Powder (MSP) can be used as filler and helps to reduce the total voids content in concrete. Consequently, this contributes to improve the strength of concrete. An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the combined effect of addition of MSP and crusher rock dust (CRD) on the durability of self compacting high performance green concrete SCHPGC. This paper aims to focus Chloride Permeability study of (SCHPGC) made with industrial wastes i.e. MSP and CRD from marble processing, and from stone crushing industries. Rapid Chloride Permeability test (RCPT) was conducted to measure the chloride permeability of SCHPGC and the results were compared with the normal concrete made up of river sand (NCRS) and the normal concrete made up of CRD (NCCRD). This paper discusses the effects of several factors, such as cement composition, replacement of river sand with CRD and MSP on the RCPT results of hardened cement concrete.
