Mix design of Self Compacting Concrete or SCC is not straight forward because many parameters control its rheological properties. The case becomes more complicated if high compressive strength is also to be achieved. Therefore simpler approach is used, that is by firstly determining the flow mortar mix which is easier to be designed even with the requirement of ultra-high compressive strength. The mix design of SCC is then determined by simply adding the coarse aggregate with a certain amount of that mortar mix. In this research the ultra-high compressive strength flow mortar was made of Type I cement, 15% of cement weight silica fume, weight ratio of cement and curve No IV sand was 1: 0.35. The water-cementious ratio was 0.22 and the amount of plasticizer was 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5% and 1.6% of the cement weight. For the SCC, the used coefficient was taken to be 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 of the volume of that aggregate void for mortars, the aggregate value was at the volume of the remaining count of mortar and its size was 4.8 mm - 9.6 mm. Test results show that the mortar flow ability was 170 mm, 180 mm, 220 mm and 250 mm, where the achieved compressive strength was 83.1 MPa, 96.8 MPa, 111.4 MPa, and 135.5 MPa respectively. Mortar mix with 1.6% super plasticizer was then used for making the SCC and the results show that the concrete flow were 460 mm, 580 mm and 660 mm and the compressive strength were 88.2 MPa, 100.0 MPa, and 97.9 MPa.  It can be concluded that using this simpler approach the SCC can have 580 mm flow and 100 MPa compressive strength

 Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is an innovation to produce concrete that could flow independently without being compacted. One of the practical methods is by making the mortar mix design first. The purpose of this research was to find optimum value of the flow mortar which will be base in the design of self-compacting concrete; and to find the optimum ratio of the mortar’s absolute volume to the volume of coarse aggregate cavity. The mortar material used type I cement, silica fume content 10% of cement weight, ratio of cement and grade III cement was of 1:1.25; water-cement factor of 0.4; and superplasticizer content of 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, and 0.6% of cement weight. In this design of self-compacting concrete, the ratio of mortar absolute volume to coarse aggregate cavity were of 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 with size of coarse aggregate of 10-20 mm. This research showed the optimum content of superplasticizer on mortar was of 0.6% which resulted slump flow of 260 mm, and compressive strength of 57.44 MPa. The testing result of SCC showed optimum value on ratio of mortar absolute-volume to coarse aggregate cavity was of 1.8 resulted slump flow of 280 mm, and compressive strength of 65.76 MPa.

<p class="Abstract">The development of technology construction has reached a period of caring for the environment. Many things been developed to support environmentally friendly construction. Itcan be started from the use of a mixture of natural ingredients into a mixture of construction materials. Concrete is a construction material that is often used in Indonesia, given its ease, price, and durabilityAlong with the development of the concrete periods has experienced many advances, one of which is in the drafting of a combined mix of making concrete, and to supporting environmentally friendly concrete, a mixture of natural materials are used as one of the making material of concrete.South Sumatra is one of the islands in Sumatra, which has an abundant plantation of rubber. The large number of rubber plantations makes rubber waste more and more, one of which is rubber seeds. Therefore it is necessary to treat rubber seed waste in order to reduce the amount of rubber seed waste and can be used to improve the economy of the surrounding community.  The rubber itself has many advantages in the industrial field. Utilization of rubber has been widely used, but no one has used rubber seeds as an aggregate substitution material in making a concrete without other chemicals. Therefore this research will discuss the rubber seed mixture as a substitute for coarse aggregate. The material used to make concrete is portland type I cement, coarse and fine aggregate from the Tanjung Raja area, and the rubber seeds used are from the Sembawa area. Coarse aggregate substitution using a mixture of rubber seeds  5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% were tested during the age of concrete of 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days.. The compressive strength of rubber seed substitution with a percentage of 5% shows the most significant compressive strength value of 19.33 Mpa. From the test results of this study it can be concluded that the greater the use of rubber seeds, the lower the compressive strength.</p>

The production and use of plastic bottles is increasing tremendously with passing time. These plastic bottles become a problem when they are disposed as they are non-biodegradable. This means that the waste plastic, when dumped, does not decompose naturally and stays in the environment affecting the ecological system. The use of alternative aggregates like Plastic Coarse Aggregate (PCA) is a natural step in solving part of reduction of natural aggregates as well as to solve the issue discussed above. The researchers are trying from half a century to investigate the alternative materials to be replaced in concrete mixture in place of either aggregate or cement.  In this research, the concrete made from plastic waste as coarse aggregates were investigated for compressive strength and Stress-strain relationship. Plastic coarse aggregate have been replaced in place of natural coarse aggregate by different percentages with w/c 0.5, 0.4 and 0.3. The percentage replacement of plastic aggregate in place of mineral coarse aggregate was 25%, 30%, 35% and 40 %. Using Super-plasticizer Chemrite 520-BAS. OPC-53 grade cement was used. Total of forty five Cylinders were prepared based on different combination of Percentage of Plastic aggregate replaced and W/C as discussed above and checked for compressive strength and stress-strain relationship. The compressive strength increases by about 19.25% due to the decrease in W/C from 0.5 to 0.3 for plastic percentage addition of 40%.

Hartono, in this paper explain that to obtain the allowed characteristic compressive strength of concrete from a concrete construction is quite difficult , because it is influenced by the mix of materials used for the manufacture of the construction, in which the require material of the concrete mix had to be in accordance with Reinforced Concrete Indonesia Rule Year 1991. The main factor of mix material that affect permitted the compressive strength of concrete is aggregate characteristics, namely the coarse aggregate or crushed stone. Therefore this study is intended to determine the compressive strength of concrete with the characteristics of coarse aggregate material of crushed stone that comes from limestone. This research use Gresik PC mixture concrete, muntilan sand, and kricak of limestone. To determine concrete compressive characteristics strength of concrete, concrete specimen as many as 20 pieces, with mixed-use PC weight ratio of 1 : 2 Ps : 3, cube molded kricak with the size of 15 cm X 15 cm X 15 cm was made. From these results, it can be obtained that concrete compressive characteristic strength σ 1 bk = 215.41 kg / cm2. Keyword: Concrete construction

This paper investigates durability of no fine concrete containing demolished concrete as coarse aggregate after crushing to different sizes. Different no fine concrete mixes were considered using Portland cement type I with two types of coarse aggregates, crushed demolished concrete and crushed natural gravel were used with two ratios by weight (1:5 and 1:7) C/Agg. Graded aggregate and single size were used with a maximum size of 20 mm. W /C ratio was kept as 0.4 for all mixes and super-plasticizer was required to keep the same flow and compaction factor value for all mixes. Cube specimens with 150mm were cured and divided to two parts, the first part was exposed to 60 cycles of freezing- thawing; the second part of the sample was immersed in Nitric Acids solution with pH of 3.5 for (7, 28, 90 and 180 days) and then tested for compressive strength. The results indicated that it is possible to produce homogenous and workable mixes by using demolished crushed concrete as coarse aggregate. The compressive strength after cycles of freezing- thawing and immersing in Nitric acid (HNO3) at (7, 28, 90 and 180) days was decreased for samples made with crushed demolished concrete. Also it is found that the performance of concrete mixes containing graded coarse aggregate and 1:5 cement/aggregate ratios was better than other mixes.

This paper investigates the mechanical properties (compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural toughness) of polypropylene fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (PFRSCC). The effect of the incorporation of polypropylene fiber on the mechanical properties of PFRSCC is determined. Four point bending tests on beam specimens were performed to evaluate the flexural properties of PFRSCC. Test results indicate that flexural toughness and ductility are remarkably improved by the addition of polypropylene fiber.

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.
