Production of Self-Compacting Concrete Using Rock Breaking Waste Residues

Abstract:

Waste residues derived from the breaking process of rocks have been many times inadequately discarded on the environment generating an environmental passive. The residues could be used in the production of self-compacting concrete (CAA) providing more sustainable constructions. To study different CAA mixtures the following tests have been performed in the fresh state: Water Absorption, L - Box, V - Funnel and Slump Flow Test. For the evaluation of mechanical performance, the concrete Compression Strength Test, Flexural Strength Test and Tensile Strength by Diametric Compression Test have been performed in the hard state. Technical and environmental viability in the addition of this type of residue for the studied percentages have been verified.
