Self Compacting Concrete

SCC (Self compacting concrete) can fill formwork and encloses reinforcing bars under gravity and maintains homogeneity without vibration. SCC shortens the period of construction, guarantees compaction in confined zones, moreover terminates noise due to vibration. The wide spread application of SCC is restricted because of the high cost for the production of SCC with high cement content and chemical admixtures. In order to make the production of SCC economical, and to reduce the high cement content the Ordinary Portland Cement in SCC can be blended with pozzolanic materials like rice husk ash and supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash. In this paper the fresh state properties and mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of SCC with ternary blends of rice husk ash (RHA) and fly ash (FA) were studied. For this purpose, different mixes were prepared by replacing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of rice husk ash (RHA) and the percentage of addition of fly ash (FA) is fixed as 15% for all these mixes. It was observed that the specimen incorporating 10% of rice husk ash (RHA) and 15% of fly ash (FA) as ternary blend exhibits better mechanical properties such as: Compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths at 28 days of age as compared to traditional mix of SCC without RHA (Rice Husk Ash) and FA (Fly Ash). This research demonstrates that the ideal percentage for a mixture of rice husk ash (RHA) and fly ash as ternary blend is 10% and 15% respectively.

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, self-levelling concrete. Just as in Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC), fibres can be incorporated into SCC also to get FRSCC. In the present study hybrid fibres namely, Polypropylene and hooked ended Steel fibres are incorporated in different volume fractions and their fresh and hardened state properties have been studied. Fly ash and Silica Fume obtained as waste from industries are used as replacement for cement, the replacement being 10% and 5% respectively. The behaviour of HFRSCC under compression, tension and flexure has been experimentally observed. The stress-strain behaviour of SCC and HFRSCC have also been studied by varying the combinations of volume fractions of hybrid fibres.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is relatively a recent development in the construction world. SCC can flow through dense reinforcement under its own weight without any segregation, bleeding, and vibration. The use of steel fibers is being encouraged to increase mechanical characteristics of SSC. However, adding fibers to fresh concrete results in loss of workability. Steel fibers operate as crack arrestors in concrete and extend the span of structures. In the present study, the mechanical properties of SCC with cement is partially replaced by rice husk ash (RHA) & P500 (ultra-fine fly ash). A total of 5 mixes with 0.3 W/C ratio were cast for 7, 28 and 56 days water curing. The replacement of fibres is considered as 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% by weight of cement. Workability, Compressive, Split Tensile and Flexural strength is studied in this investigation. Superior strength was observed at optimum dosage of steel fibers at 1.5% by weight of cement

Aluminium Matrix Composites

Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) used extensively in various engineering fields due to their exceptional mechanical properties. In this present study, aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) such as aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with rice husk ash particles (RHA) are made to explore the possibilities of reinforcing aluminium alloy. The stir casting method was applied to produce aluminium alloy (A356) reinforced with various amounts of (2%, 4%, and 6%) rice husk ash (RHA) particles. Physical treatment was carried out before the rice husk ash manufacturing process. The effect of mechanical strength of the fabricated hybrid composite was investigated. Therefore, impact test, tensile stress, compressive stress, and some other tests were carried out to analyse the mechanical properties. From the experimental results, it was found that maximum tensile, and compressive stress were found at 6% rice husk ash (RHA) and aluminium matrix composites (AMCs). In future, the optimum percentages of rice husk ash (RHA) to fabricate the hybrid composites will be determined. Also, simulation by finite element method (FEM) will be applied for further investigation.
