A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE AND ITS IMPACT ON ENVIRONMNET – A MODEL STUDY

K. Susan, M. Satish Kumar

Abstract :

A mixture of cement, sand, coarse aggregates and water which dries hard and strong and is used as a material for building is termed as concrete. Heavy viation of concrete has to be done for flowing into very intricate form or forms that have a lot of reinforcing bars. Hence to overcome the difficulties of normal cement concrete that can tend to cause honeycombs in spite of careful compaction process through viation of fresh concrete in designed moulds, the SCC has made steady inroads into critical constructions. Self–compacting concrete is a flowing concrete mixture which can consolidate under its own weight without any external compaction. Without being heavily viated the self–compacting concrete flows easily at suitable speed into formwork without blocking through the reinforcement. A study comprising of Self– compacting concrete where the cement is partially replaced with fly–ash is presented in this study.
