Abstract

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a concrete with enhanced fresh properties that allows pouring without external compaction. Its advantages also are extended to good segregation resistance, higher homogeneity, lower permeability, which among others, lead to a product with higher durability. In this study self-Compacting-Concrete containing Recycled Aggregates offer improvements on strength parameters of self-compacting concrete for M-30 grade of concrete. The main objective of this project has to find out the effect of Recycled Aggregates on fresh and harden properties of Non-conventional selfcompacting concrete. In this investigation Mix proportion of concrete was 1:3.3:2.6 and maintaining water cement ratio of 0.69 in order to study the compressive strength, durability tests such as Water and Air Permeability Test, Water Absorption Test, Resistance to Sea water and Acidic Solution. An experiment will be performed to examine the effect of reinforcing SCC with recycled aggregates, on its Durability characteristics as well as fresh and mechanical properties.
