Fly Ash, Concrete, Workability, Compressive StrengthAbstract:
From past decades many researches are carried out on self-compacting concrete to avoid the vibration in concrete due to many reasons such as to decrease manual work, lack of availability of labours, etc. In this experiment, the study was conducted to study performance on strength and durability characteristics of self-compacting, self-cured concrete. Fly ash is used as filler material and SAP is used as self-curing agent in a various percentages (0.2%, 0.3% & 0.4% ) in a weight of cementitious material and also natural sand partially replaced by quarry dust in various percentage (0%, 10%, 20%, 30% & 40%) for M40 grade of concrete. The experiments are carried out by adopting water powder ratio of 0.45, workability tests such as slump flow, V-funnel, L- box tests are conducted as per EFNARC guidelines at fresh state. The mechanical properties such as compressive test, split tensile test were conducted. From the obtained results 0.2% SAP with 10% quarry dust concluded has a optimum dosage for strength properties.
