New Mixing Method of Self-consolidating Concrete Incorporating of Silica Fume
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is an extensive conventional concrete technology which uses the similar constituent materials but possesses distinctive characteristic compared to conventional concrete. Self-consolidating concrete is highly deformable that can spread into every corner of formwork without any mechanical compaction. The main objective of this research is to study the effect of silica fume on the fresh and hardened properties of self-consolidating concrete in terms of slump diameter, compressive and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Different percentage of silica fume (0, 10, 15 and 20%) as the cement replacement material are incorporated in the self-consolidating concrete to produce self-consolidating concrete with a minimum compressive strength of 50 MPa at 28 days. The significant finding of this study is the implementation of new method in the mixing of concrete constituent materials. This new method resulted in 33% total reduction of time for the mixing process as compared to the conventional mixing method. Hence, this research revealed the incorporating of silica fume with new mixing method was a promising approach to achieve good compressive strength in concrete industry.
