Influence of Aggregate on Workability of Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract:

The workability of self-compacting concrete is influenced greatly by aggregate. In this study, the effects of aggregate gradation, maximum particle size, sand percentage and particle shape on the workability of self-consolidating concrete were investigated. The results showed that the compressive strength and workability of self-compacting concrete were increased by increasing the particle size of aggregate, optimizing gradation, choosing proper sand percentage and increasing shape index in a certain range.
