Effect of Sustainable Materials in Fresh Properties of Self-compacting Concrete

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Materials in Building Construction

Part of the book series: Building Pathology and Rehabilitation ((BUILDING,volume 11))

Abstract

Transforming the various industrial waste materials into an effective construction material is a key to achieve sustainability in the construction industry and it also helps in managing the industrial wastes. Numerous researches have been carried out in self compacting concrete to determine the possibility of dumping the industrial waste materials into it. This paper describes about the effect of sustainable wastes in the fresh properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) containing sustainable wastes as a partial replacement for the conventional concreting materials. Notably some materials show high compatibility in improving the fresh properties of concrete, whereas some seems to be detrimental to the flowability of concrete. It is worth to be mentioned here that some waste materials reduce the dosage of super plasticizer and reduce the water demand drastically due to their low water absorption property.
