Self-compacting concrete or also known as self-consolidating concrete (SCC), an innovation in concrete technology is being regarded as one of the most promising developments in the construction industry due to numerous advantages that it has over conventional concrete. The cement and sand consumption in concrete production can be reduced by using a combination of industrial waste materials like fly ash and quarry dust and at the same time lead to energy and cost reduction. In this project, work is done on experimental study on fresh and hardened properties of SCC such as slump flow test, J-ring test, water absorption test, and compressive strength test of M35 grade of SCC. Five mixes with different percentages of quarry dust (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) as partial replacement for sand and a constant 10% of fly ash as partial replacement for cement is considered. The test results for water absorption and compressive strength were carried out after 7 days and 28 days of curing. The results obtained showed that the optimum dosage of quarry dust was 30% and that incorporating QDFA in SCC as green, sustainable and eco-friendly materials in SCC resulted in high workability, enhanced the strength and durability properties in term of water absorption.
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.
