ABSTRACT
Conventional concrete tends to present a problem with
regard to adequate consolidation in sections or areas of congested
reinforcement, which tends to a large volume of entrapped air voids and
compromises the strength and durability of concrete. Self - compacting
concrete (SCC) can eliminate the problem , since it was designed to consolidate
under its own mass. Normal concrete was designed by IS Method and self
compacting concrete was designed by simple mix design proposed by Nan Su.
SCC was developed in 1988’s by Prof. Hagime Okamura in Japan. SCC was one
of the special concrete in across the world.
Although many literature’s and journals are
available on self-compacting concrete but they were no IS codes
regarding the SCC.EFNARC provides the guidelines for SCC. So we do
develop a mix proportion for SCC according to IS10262:2009 and
results will be compared using EFNARC guidelines.
In this experimental study a mix proportion of grade M20 & M40
for Self - Compacting concrete will be developed according to IS
10262 : 2009 and results will be compared with conventional concrete
along with EFNARC guidelines and various tests will be performed on
fresh concrete and hardened concrete.
LITERATURE REVIEW
1. Bertil Persson (2001) carried out an experimental and numerical study on
mechanical properties, such as strength, elastic modulus, creep and shrinkage of
self-compacting concrete and the corresponding properties of normal compacting
concrete. The study included eight mix proportions of sealed or air-cured
specimens with water binder ratio (w/b) varying between 0.24 and 0.80. Fifty
percent of the mixes were SCC and rests were NCC. The age at loading of the
concretes in the creep studies varied between 2 and 90 days. Strength and relative
humidity were also found. The results indicated that elastic modulus, creep and
shrinkage of SCC.
2. Nan Su et al (2001) proposed a new mix design method for self-compacting
concrete. First, the amount of aggregates required was determined, and the paste
of binders was then filled into the voids of aggregates to ensure that the concrete
thus obtained has flow ability, self-compacting ability and other desired SCC
properties. The amount of aggregates, binders and mixing water, as well as type
and dosage of super plasticizer to be used are the major factors influencing the
properties of SCC. Slump flow, V-funnel, L-flow, U-box and compressive strength
tests were carried out to examine the performance of SCC, and the results
indicated that the proposed method could be used to produce successfully SCC of
high quality. Compared to the method developed by the Japanese Ready-Mixed
Concrete Association (JRMCA), this method is simpler, easier for implementation
and less time consuming, requires a smaller amount of binders and saves cost.
3. Hajime Okamura and Masahiro Ouchi (2003) addressed the two major issues
faced by the international community in using SCC, namely the absence of a
proper mix design method and jovial testing method. They proposed a mix
design method for SCC based on paste and mortar studies for super plasticizer
compatibility followed by trail mixes. However, it was emphasized that the need
to test the final product for passing ability, filling ability, and flow ability and
segregation resistance was more relevant.
4. Paratibha Aggarwal (2008) presented a procedure for the design of self-
compacting concrete mixes based on an experimental investigation. At the
water/powder ratio of 1.180 to 1.215, slump flow test, V-funnel test and L-box
test results were found to be satisfactory, i.e. passing ability; filling ability and
segregation resistance are well within the limits. SCC was developed without
using VMA in this study. Further, compressive strength at the ages of 7, 28, and
90 days was also determined. By using the OPC 43 grade, normal strength of 25
Mpa to 33 MPa at 28-days was obtained, keeping the cement content around
350 kg/m3 to 414 kg/m3.
