Experiment Study on Self Compacting Concrete with Mineral Admixtures
Abstract
Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an advanced type of concrete that can flow under its own weight and completely fill the formwork without the need for mechanical vibration. SCC improves construction quality, reduces labor cost, and enhances durability. The use of mineral admixtures such as Fly Ash, Silica Fume, and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) enhances the mechanical and durability properties of concrete while reducing cement consumption. This study focuses on the behavior, properties, advantages, and applications of SCC with mineral admixtures. Fresh concrete tests such as Slump Flow Test, V-Funnel Test, and LBox Test are conducted to evaluate flowability and passing ability. Hardened concrete tests such as Compressive Strength Test are performed to determine strength characteristics. The results show that mineral admixtures improve workability, reduce segregation, and increase long-term strength. SCC with mineral admixtures is environmentally friendly and suitable for modern construction practices.
