Abstract

The paper “Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete with High Volume of Cementitious Material” investigates the impact of higher binder content on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The study was conducted using three SCC mixes with binding materials of 550 kg/m3, 600 kg/m3, and 650 kg/m3 with a constant water-to-binder ratio and 40% of the binder being fly ash. The properties of the concrete were evaluated in the fresh stage using tests like the slump flow test and V-funnel test and in the hardened stage using tests like the compressive strength test and shrinkage test. The results showed that while there was a correlation between higher binder content and higher compressive strength, there were also differences in shrinkage and creep values that were estimated using ACI 209 R-92 and BS EN 1992-1-1-2004. The study highlights the need to investigate the effects of high binder content on SCC properties.
