This study aims at finding alternative indigenous Sudanese material for concrete admixtures that are necessary for casting concrete in hot weather of the Sudan. The objective of this study to classify Gum Arabic (GA) namely, Acacia Senegal (known locally as Hashab Gum) as viscosity modifying admixture (VMA) for lowering powder content in self compacting concrete (SCC). The methodology of the study is based on the European standards BS EN 934-2 & BS EN 480-15 that are used as a paradigm to classify GA as the VMA. Three trial SCC test mixes containing different quantity of cement, namely (400, 370 and 350) Kg/ as powder content. A dose of GA 0.2% by weight of cement is applied after being dissolved in water at a concentration of 30% by water weight. The water/cement ratio (W/C) is kept constant as 0.45 for all mixes. The results of this study showed that the 0.2% GA dosage is appropriate and satisfied all criteria set by BS EN 934-2: 2009 for VMA. Using 0.2% GA as VMA lower the powder of SCC from 400kg to 350kg/ while maintaining the SCC fresh properties.

The Stability

The influence of coal bottom ash on fresh properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) were presented in this paper. Self-compacting concrete mixtures were produced by 0.40 water/powder ratio and coal bottom ash as a replacement of fine aggregates in varying percentages of 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. The fresh concretes were tested for the key workability belongings of self-compacting concrete such as passing and filling abilities and segregation resistance. The fresh properties were investigated by slump flow; T500 spread time, sieve segregation and L-box test. It was found that the slump flow decreased whereas the T500 spread time increased with higher coal bottom ash content. The L-box blocking ratios changed from 0.92 to 0.65 and were mostly showed satisfactory blocking ratio. The presence of coal bottom ash improved the stability of SCC mixture and the segregation index obtained from sieve test reduced with greater bottom ash content. It can be concluding that the filling and passing ability of SCC decreased when the amount of coal bottom ash content increased. In addition, the segregation resistance index decreased with higher coal bottom ash content.

Viscosity modifying admixtures (VMA), known as an important component, are water-soluble polymers that can increase the viscosity and cohesion of self-compacting concrete( SCC). This article presents the effect of four different types of VMA on the workability of SCC , which including flowability, filling ability, passing ability and segregation resistance ability of the fresh concrete. The results show that the low viscosity of VMA satisfies the workability requirement of fresh properties of SCC.

This article mainly focused on the influence of recycle coarse aggregate and manufactured sand on the properties of self compacting concrete (SCC). The main purpose of this research is reuse of recycled aggregate in SCC and also to reduce use of fine aggregate by replacing manufactured sand. The SCC mixtures were prepared with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% replacement of recycle coarse aggregate in natural coarse aggregate and M-Sand in fine aggregate with a Water/Binder ratio of 0.36. Different test covering fresh properties of these SCC mixtures were executed the results were compared with EFNARC guidelines and IS 10262:2019. The feasibility of utilizing recycled aggregate and M-Sand in self compacting concrete has been examined and found that it is suitable for concrete.
