Description

The project aims to investigate and develop self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixes of two different grades, 30 and 40, with the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). The primary objectives are to improve the sustainability and performance of concrete by reducing its environmental impact and enhancing its mechanical properties. The experimental phase will involve the formulation of SCC mix designs with varying percentages of fly ash and GGBS, assessing their fresh properties, workability, and flowability. Additionally, the mechanical properties, and long- term performance of these SCC mixes will be evaluated through compressive strength test. Comparative analysis will be conducted to determine the optimal combinations of fly ash and GGBS in both grade 30 and 40 SCC mixes. The results will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of using SCMs in SCC, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased resistance to environmental factors, and enhanced structural performance. The project's findings will help the construction industry become more sustainable by using eco-friendly materials, improving construction practices, and creating innovative, environmentally friendly concrete solutions.
