Developing Self-Compacting Concrete with locally available cementitious materials.
With the growing demand for sustainable and efficient construction methods, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) emerges as a game-changing innovation in the concrete industry. SCC is characterized by its ability to flow and fill formwork under its own weight without the need for mechanical vibration. This eliminates issues like segregation and enhances durability. SCC has applications in intricate formworks and densely reinforced structures, making it an attractive choice for modern construction. Despite its advantages, developing an optimal SCC mix requires an intricate balance between workability, segregation resistance, and strength parameters. This research will explore the design of SCC mixtures to achieve high workability without compromising on strength.
