An Experimental Study on Self Compacting Concrete Mix Produced From Local Materials


Abstract in English

Featuring a self-compacting concrete (SCC) high capacity to fill the mold and passing ability through barriers under the influence of self-weight without vibration, thereby reducing the required labour and reduces the noise associated with vibration. Modern applications focused on improving the specifications of high performance, resistance and speed of construction. The research presents an experimental study for an (SCC) mix produced from local materials, including the necessary tests on the proposed concrete mix, which approved in the global codes. These experiments determine the basic characteristics of (SCC) in fresh case were also identified pressure resistance of (SCC) and determine the value of the modulus of elasticity (E) and the behavior curvatures. All mixes have been achieved global standards and conditions, and the required experiments were done in the laboratory of civil engineering faculty at Tishreen University.
