Abstract

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration forplacing and compaction. It is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling form work and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. This experimental investigation study on the flow and mechanical characteristic of self-compacting concrete (SCC) obtained by replacing stone aggregate varying percentage ofcrushed clay-brick bat while other materials are kept unchanged. The variable considered in this study was by the weight of partial replacement of crushed stone aggregate by crushed brick aggregate varying proportion mixes of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% in SCC. This study is mainly focused on the flow and mechanical characteristics of SCC by varying percentage of partial replacement of crushed clay brick bats with crushed stone coarse aggregate are determined and this also the investigation is an attempt to examine the influence of clay bricks bat course aggregate, GGBS and super plasticizer on the flow and mechanical characteristic of SCC. In the study, the replacement of crushed stone coarse aggregate with bricks resulted the flow characteristic of fresh SCC for passing ability and filling ability of the concrete values were found within the given standard value and quite close to each other. With respect to mechanical properties of hardened concrete of Compressive strength, Splitting tensile strength and Flexural Strength tests of SCC valueswere found under the range values of the conventional concrete mix ratioand the strength is become reduced.
