Durability Studies of Environmental Friendly Self Compacting Concrete with and without Fiber

Abstract:

Concrete is the most important building material in construction industry because of its revolutionary property of quick hardening and free from internal problems. Its use has a great effect on environment due to the large amount of natural resources and cement lime materials required for manufacture the concrete structures. Now it’s the time for think in the direction of Eco-friendly durable materials in concrete production. In the present work, Quarry Dust and Foundry Sand are partial replaced River Sand to develop Rheological and Durability properties of M40 grade of Eco-Efficient Self-Compacting Concrete (ESCC). The target strength could be achieved satisfying the rheological properties of Eco-Efficient Self-Compacting Concrete with fiber additions. In this study investigations carried to find the Permeability, Shrinkage, Acid attack and Rapid Chloride Permeability Test (RCPT) of Eco-Efficient Fiber based Self-Compacting Concrete and it is observed that it is no way inferior to the conventional concretes. From the experimentation, it is recommended that waste materials from different source are fitting to be used as fine materials in concrete. The construction cost reduces by utilising such waste as fine aggregate in place of aggregate from natural source for construction.
