    Table 3 shows the flow value of the mixtures containing BA. It shows that flow value for the BA blended cement mortars were decreased with increase in the percentage of BA. The control mix (BAM 0) has a flow value of 147 mm [30]. The flow value of mixes BAM 5, BAM 10, BAM 15, BAM 20, BAM 25, and BAM 30 shows decrease of 146, 146, 145, 144, 143, and 142 mm respectively. BA requires more water for proper consistency when compared to that of ordinary Portland cement due to irregular shape with rough surfaces, high porous texture and absorptive in nature [5]. Increase in water demand of BA, decreases the flow value and resulted in poor workability. W/C ratio was kept same as 0.5 for all mixes. The flow value of BAM 30 reduced to 3.4 % due to…

    Abstract --- Reutilization of waste materials in the building industry helps to prevent environmental pollution whilst contributing to the design of more economical buildings. Over the years, there has been increase in the accumulation of tyre rubber due to the increase in the production of vehicles. Sometimes this waste tyre rubber is burned which leads to environmental pollution. So the use of this type waste tyre rubber for the replacement of aggregates in concrete leads to the decrease in the accumulation of waste tyre rubber and also reduces pollution. Another problem that we are facing is the durability of concrete structures. In order to get durable structures adequate compaction by skilled workers is required. Now a day there is a reduction in skilled workers. This leads…

    The report will mainly focus on the differences between reinforced, prestressed and partially stressed concrete. These concrete reinforcing methods differ in the period they have been used. Reinforced concrete was developed by a nursery owner in Paris in 1867, Joseph Monier, applying it to practical use for the first time (Salmon & Wang, 2007). Prestressed concrete’s discovery dates back to the late 1800’s. Freyssinet was one of the first engineers who used this method and realised that, for this method, high quality concrete with very high tensile steel wires, stressed as high as possible was needed (Chris Burgoyne, 2005).…

    Self Compacted Concrete

    • 3853 Words
    • 16 Pages

    1. INTRODUCTION Self-compacting concrete (SCC), developed first in Japan in the late 1980s, represents 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. SCC can be described as a high performance material which flows under its own weight without requiring vibrators to achieve consolidation by complete filling of the formworks even when access is hindered by narrow gaps between reinforcement bars [1]. The high flowability of SCC makes it possible to fill the formwork without vibration [2]. The constituent materials used for the production of SCC are the same as those for conventionally vibrated normal concrete except that SCC contains a lesser amount of aggregates and larger amount of powder (cement and filler particles smaller than 0.125 mm) and special plasticizer to enhance flowability. Fly ash, glass filler, limestone powder, silica fume, etc. are used as the filler materials. High flowability and high segregation resistance of SCC are obtained by using: (i) a larger quantity of fine particles, i.e. a limited aggregate content (coarse aggregate: 50% of the concrete volume and sand: 40% of the mortar volume) [3]; (ii) a low water/powder ratio; and (iii) a higher dosage of superplasticizer and stabilizer [4, 5]. Stabilizer is needed for SCC mixes for maintaining proper cohesiveness so that highly flowable SCC would not segregate. Typical ranges of proportions and quantities of the constituent materials for producing SCC are reported in the literature [2, 6–9]. Relevant…
