Self-Compacting and Conventional Concrete with Mineral Waste: Fresh and Hardened State Properties
Environmental preservation has been a theme debated in virtually every country in the world. Many measures are being taken to reduce the environmental impact due to unplanned development. Growing environmental restrictions to the exploitation of sand from riverbeds have resulted in a search for alternative materials to produce fine aggregates, particularly near to larger metropolitan areas. Artificial fine aggregates then appear as an attractive alternative to natural fine aggregates for concrete. This work is the final part of a study about the use of residues in concretes. Conventional Concrete (CC) and Self-compacting concrete (SCC) were developed replacing the natural sand by two types of mineral waste. Fresh state tests such as slump-flow, L-box, V-funnel test and column test were performed according to the Brazilian standards. The rheological characteristics (yield stress and plastic viscosity) of the SCC were determined using the BTRHEOM rheometer. At the hardened state, compressive strength was determined at 3, 14 and 28 days of age. Modulus of elasticity test was carried out at 28 days. Curves to mixture design were obtained to SCC and CC. For all mixtures and properties analyzed the good performance of the mineral waste used was proven. Finally and more important, it was demonstrated that it is possible to obtain structural self-compacting concrete, self-compacting concrete without structural purposes and conventional concrete by using mineral waste that works like fine aggregates and that on the other hand, without any destination, would cause serious environmental impacts.
