Greatly used material in the construction industry is concrete in the world environmental concern. The use of SCM’s (Supplementary Cementitious Materials) in concrete is popular in these days and enlarged along with the amassment of concrete industry, due to the discussion of problems associated with the manufacture of cement like taking out of raw material, co2 emission etc. These effects brought pressures to minimize cement consumption by utilization supplemental cementitious materials are Fly ash, Micro Silica, Rice Husk Ash (RHA), GGBS, etc., use of these byproducts facilitates sustainable development at present world scenario. Developing of self-compacting concrete has brought a positive Perception due to several advantages as reduction in pollution of noise due to vibration, decreases in construction time and power consumption through the utilization of supplemental materials. If binder content in concrete is more it leads to environmental impacts. By incorporating maximum cement content with mineral admixtures it improvises properties along with self-compacting concrete. In this Study an experiment made to study the behavior of QBSCC slabs such as Flexural strength, load Vs deflection curves with addition of crimped steel fibers 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%.
The paper presents the studies on properties of blended concretes containing various mineral admixtuers like fly ash, silica fume, ground granulated blast furnace slag and metakaolin as partial replacement to cement. By addition of these admixtures reduces the cement content so that it can minimize the enivornment impact from the producion of cement.Various properties of blended concretes are reviewed from different research articles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
