The demand for high strength self compacting concrete is growing up today due to the increase of high rise structures across the globe because of its durability and ease of its place ability. It is very important to study its durability properties as it effects on economy, serviceability and maintenance. it is well known that the properties of concrete are affected by cementitious matrix, aggregate and the transition zone between the two phases. Reducing water powder ratio and addition of pozollona admixtures like Fly ash and Microsilica are often used to modify the micro structure of the matrix and to optimize the transition zone. An attempt was made to study the durability factors of High Strength Self Compacting Concrete Mixes. Durability properties have been established by exposing the concrete to Acidic and Suplhate medium.

ABSTRAKKajian karakteristik beton memadat sendiri yang menggunakan serat ijuk merupakan sebuah kajian yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan serat ijuk terhadap karakteristik beton memadat sendiri (SCC). Beton memadat sendiri yang menggunakan serat ijuk (PFSCC) didesain memiliki campuran yang encer, bermutu tinggi (= 40 MPa) dan memiliki persentase kekuatan lentur yang lebih baik. PFSCC  didapatkan dari hasil pencampuran antara semen sebanyak 85%, fly ash 15%, superplastizicer 1,5%, serat ijuk 0%, 0,5%; 1%; 1,5%; 2% dan 3% dari berat binder (semen + fly ash), kadar air 190 kg/m3, agregat kasar 552,47 kg/m3 dan pasir 1.063 kg/m3. Semakin banyak persentase penambahan serat ijuk ke dalam campuran berdampak terhadap menurunnya workability beton segar. Penambahan serat ijuk yang paling baik adalah sebanyak 1%, penambahan tersebut dapat meningkatkan kekuatan tekan beton sebesar 13% dan lentur sebesar 1,8%.Kata kunci: beton memadat sendiri (SCC), beton berserat, beton memadat sendiri yang menggunakan serat ijuk (PFSCC), serat ijuk ABSTRACTThe study of characteristics self compacting concrete using palm fibers is a study conducted to determine the effect of adding palm fibers to characteristics of self compacting concrete (SCC). palm fibers self compacting concrete (PFSCC) is designed to have a dilute mixture, high strength (= 40 MPa), and have better precentage flexural strength. PFSCC was obtained from mixing of 85% cement, 15% fly ash, 1.5% superplastizicer, 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 3% palm fibers from the weight of binder  (cement + fly ash), water content 190 kg/m3, coarse aggregate 552.47 kg/m3 and sand 1,063 kg/m3. The more persentage palm fibers content added to the mixture makes workability of fresh concrete decreases. The best addition of palm fiber is 1%, this addition can increases the compressive strength 13% and flexural strength 1.8%.Keywords: self compacting concrete (SCC), fiber concrete, Palm fiber self compacting concrete (PFSCC), palm fiber

        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. Keywords: Self-Compacting Concrete, Metakaolin, GLENIUM B233, Superplasticizer, Polycarboxylic Ether

The research and development of high-performance concrete (HPC) that can give both high flow characteristics and high strength have attracted wide interest in Taiwan. The construction of the 101-storey Taipei Financial Center and the 85-storey Tungtxt & Chingtai (T&C) Tower requires the slump to be in the range of 230 – 270 mm, the initial slump flow in the range of 580 – 620 mm and slump more than 230 mm after 45 minutes, as well as a 56-day compressive strength of over 56 MPa. The HPC mix is designed using a densified mixture design algorithm which aims to achieve the lowest cement content. With the addition of pozzolanic materials such as fly ash, the workability is much improved because the shape of fly ash is spherical. After one-year of strict quality control, the HPC achieve consistent workability and excellent strength. This indicates that the appropriate use of local industrial by-product materials can produce HPC of the required design strength.

The behavior of nanoprecipitates of 800Mpa grade high strength low carbon steel during tempering has been studied. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) were used to systematically analyze the morphology of precipitates and their grain orientation with matrix at different tempering temperatures. Experimental results confirm that the composition of these nanometer sized particles in the matrix was compound carbonitrides containing Ti, V, Mo and other elements. The precipitates of the as-received steel are (Nb,Ti)(C,N) at low tempering temperature, while those at high tempering temperature are composite carbides containing a variety of elements such as Mo, V, Ti and Nb. On the other hand, as tempering temperature increases, precipitates in the steel were slowly growing up and roughening according with the typical Oswald ripening mechanism; a sharp orientation relationship exists between precipitates and matrix.
