Abstract This paper presents the application of Taguchi approach to obtain optimal mix proportion for Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) containing spent foundry sand and M-sand. Spent foundry sand is used as a partial replacement for M-sand. The SCC mix has seven control factors namely, Coarse aggregate, M-sand with Spent Foundry sand, Cement, Fly ash, Water, Super plasticizer and Viscosity modifying agent. Modified Nan Su method is used to proportion the initial SCC mix. L18 (21×37) Orthogonal Arrays (OA) with the seven control factors having 3 levels is used in Taguchi approach which resulted in 18 SCC mix proportions. All mixtures are extensively tested both in fresh and hardened states to verify whether they meet the practical and technical requirements of SCC. The quality characteristics considering “Nominal the better” situation is applied to the test results to arrive at the optimal SCC mix proportion. Test results indicate that the optimal mix satisfies the requirements of fresh and hardened properties of SCC. The study reveals the feasibility of using spent foundry sand as a partial replacement of M-sand in SCC and also that Taguchi method is a reliable tool to arrive at optimal mix proportion of SCC.

Based on the project requirement of a nuclear power plant, using the method of free shrinkage test and ring cracking test, shrinkage cracking resistance property of grade C35 and C50 self-compacting concrete (SCC) with the optimized mix proportion was studied. The test results between SCC and ordinary vibrated concrete afforded by nuclear power plant project with the same grade were compared. The results indicated that the shrinkage cracking resistance property of SCC is prior to the ordinary vibrated concrete with the same strength grade. This kind of SCC can satisfy the nuclear power plant project, also the test results can be a reference of SCC design theory.

Strength And Durability

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a revolutionary development in concrete construction. The addition of mineral admixtures like metakaolin, which is a highly reactive pozzolana to the SCC mixes, gives it superior strength and durability. The present work is an effort to study the behavior of M50 grade SCC by partial replacement of Portland Slag Cement (PSC) with metakaolin. Its strength and durability aspects are comparable with a controlled concrete (without replacement of cement). In the present work, a new mix design methodology based on the efficiency of metakaolin is adopted. The optimum percentage replacement of cement with metakaolin is obtained based on compressive strength test results. The influence of metakaolin on the workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of SCC and its behavior when subjected to elevated temperature was investigated through evaluation against controlled concrete and non-destructive testing. From the test results, it was observed that incorporation of metakaolin at an optimum dosage satisfied all the fresh properties of SCC and improved both the strength and durability performance of SCC compared to controlled concrete.

        Self-compacting concrete (SCC) refers to high strength concrete which will compact under its own weight and does not require external vibration. This paper gives a review on the journals to study the effect of metakaoiln in SCC. The metakaolin is used as a replacement of cement and it is obtained from natural Kaolin clay. Metakaolin helps to increase the compressive strength, spilt tensile strength, flexural strength and also the fresh properties. The use super plasticizer greatly improves pump-ability and the slump value. GLENIUM B233 is a new generation based super plasticizer which is based on modified polycarboxylic ether. The fresh properties such as pump ability and workability and the durability properties of super plasticizer in SCC with metakaolin are discussed.

In this research work, an attempt is being made to partially replace the natural fine aggregate with sea sand and recycled fine aggregate obtained from demolished concrete waste in varied proportions to concrete mix and subject the specimens to mechanical strength tests for short and long durations of 7, 28, 56 and 90 days curing. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength results of 30% mix proportion (15% Sea sand + 15% demolished waste sand) were found to be 58.3 N/mm2, 3.53 N/mm2 and 4.71N/mm2 respectively. All the three strength test results obtained were found to yield 15% higher strength than the control specimens. Finally, it can be concluded that partial replacement of natural fine aggregate by sea sand and demolition recycled fine aggregate in construction industry, not only eliminates the waste management problems and impacts on environment, but also leads to the sustainable development by reducing the consumption of natural resources.

This test uses polycarboxylate superplasticizer by adding 15% quantitative fly ash, 10%, 15%, 20% of slag, and 5%,7.5%, 10% of silica fume of the total amount of the cementitious material to be an equivalent replacement for cement. Ordinary materials were used to make the C70 high strength self-compacting concrete. The concrete slump, expansion degree, and the axial compressive strength of concrete were studied. Through testing, the mix proportion of each group of concrete slump was determined to be above 250mm. And the expansion degree to be above 550mm. The axial compressive strength satisfied the design strength value. At the same time, the optimal mix ratio was proposed. And the economic performance of each group was analyzed. There are references for a similar experimental design and engineering application.

In order to prepare SCC (self-compacting concrete) which is used as the packing layer in CRTS III type track system this paper primary researched the influence of sand ratio on its performance through experiments of the design of mix proportion. Test results show that when sand ratio is too small, the fluidity of SCC will be bad and the concrete will generate segregation and weeping. If sand ratio is too great, the workability of SCC will not be good either, but segregation will not occur again. The optimum range of sand ratio is 0.56 to 0.58 in this paper, while the range proposed by China Academy of Railway Sciences is 0.50 to 0.55.

In this world of rapid urbanization the demand for natural construction materials is increasing day by day which has created a necessity for alternative construction materials. Recycling of materials is a possible way of eradicating the acute shortage of materials. Considerable work has been done in the area of self-compacting concrete by partial replacement of coarse aggregates (CA) with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) obtained from construction and demolition debris. The present study has been done by adding steel fibers to concrete in a view of improving the mechanical properties of SCC so that it can be applied in beam column joints. An ideal mix proportion was arrived at, as a result of repeated trials and specimens that were cast and cured. The compression, tensile, and flexural strength parameters were determined and the result has been presented. The results obtained reveal that brick bats in combination with steel fibres may be used extensively in SCC.

Trial And Error Method

The quality of concrete construction mainly depends on the factors like concrete constituents, degree of supervision, method of curing, etc. Hitherto, one of the most influencing factors is the mix design or proportioning that contributes major parts directly to the quality of finished product. Unlike conventional concrete the mix proportion of Self-Compacting Concrete or Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is complex since it incorporates special concrete chemicals such as Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA), Air Entraining Agent (AEA), and so on, that tends to alter the workability and other properties of concrete and moreover it has no standard procedures and is generally carried out by trial and error method. This research seeks to develop a rational methodology for optimal mix proportion strategy for SCC based on the standard tests on SCC such as V-funnel and J-ring test conducted in the concrete laboratory in controlled environment as per EFNARC 2005 standard guidelines. The test results are incorporated for computer simulation and using a Heuristic Search Algorithms, the optimum mix proportioning of SCC for different admixtures are obtained.
