Development of Self Compacting Concrete Using Natural Materials: A Review

Abstract

The world is heading towards an era of thinnest components of structures for having more spacious designing. This can be accomplished using the modern invention of Rheodynamic concrete also termed as self compacting concrete. To improve passing ability and fluidity of Self compacting concrete, the mix requires high powder content, high range VMA (Viscosity Modifying Agent) & super plasticizer, lesser quantity of coarse aggregate is engulfed in comparison to traditional concrete to fill in congested areas. In this phase of the technology, it is innovative to minimize the waste produced by the Industries; one such way to minimize this wastage is by utilizing these materials for construction activities. This review focuses on the possible ways of using these waste materials in self compacting concrete without degrading its properties such as flow ability, fluidity, and workability and segregation resistivity giving rise to the concept of green concrete.
