Abstract:

Self - compacting concrete (SCC), flows into place and around obstructions under its own weight, is extensively applied in many construction projects. In recent years, manufactured sand produced by crushing of rock is being identified as a suitable alternative source of river sand in concrete. Mineral admixtures usually added to concrete in large amount to enhance the workability of fresh state and durability of concrete in the hardened state. This paper covers the effect of replacing river sand by manufactured sand on SCC produced by using Silica fume as a filler material. The method is being used for mix design, optimum mix proportion finalized with percent Silica fume as the replacement for cement at water powder ratio of 0.45 for M40 grade concrete. The study has shown that SCC with 5 percent silica fume and 20, 30 percent replacement of river sand by manufactured sand indicate fresh SCC within IS10262-2009 guidelines and enhanced strength properties.
