HIGH VOLUME CLASS C FLY ASH CONTAINING SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable concrete that is placed by means of its own weight. The importance of SCC is that it maintains all concrete's durability and uniqueness, gathering expected routine requirements. Researchers confirmed that the usage of industrial by products such as Fly ash, GGBS, Pond ash etc., as partial replacements for cement in concrete for green initiatives, due to the speedy growth of urbanization influencing the cutback of natural aggregate recourses, thereby encouraging the tradition using alternative aggregate materials such as, manufactured sand, crushed stone aggregates, construction and demolition waste, quarry dust, copper slag, crushed sand, marble and granite waste aggregates and etc. This paper illustrates the laboratory findings of SCC by incorporatingEuropean Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC) guidelines, by complete replacement of fine aggregates with Processed Slag Sand (PSS) and partial replacement of Binder with Class C fly ash i.e.50 percent of total binder as which is represented as SCC 55. The outcome obtained pertaining to flow, strength, and durability; for this SCC mix when compared with control concrete was found to be satisfactory and thereby promote today's Engineers to implement SCC technology with this new blend for sustainable development.
