Flow Behavior of Self Consolidating Concrete Mixes with Various Maximum Size Aggregates

Abstract:

The paper investigates the effects of aggregate size and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on flow behavior of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The fresh performance of concrete mixes was evaluated through slump flow and V funnel tests. Some concrete mixes were prepared with 5 mm maximum size aggregates and other mixes with 20 mm maximum size aggregates. The effects of varying contents of SCMs (Fly ash F and GGBS) on flow behavior of SCC under binary blends were also studied. The results show that the maximum size of aggregates has effect on the flow behavior of SCC.
