An Experimental Study on Performance of Self- Compacting Concrete Containing Lime Stone Quarry Fines and Fly Ash

The development of self-compacting concrete marks an important mile stone in improving the product quality and efficiency of building industry. SCC homogeneously spreads due to its own weight, without any additional compaction energy and does not entrap air. The required flowability is achieved by using more fines (cement +filler) and reducing coarse aggregate content. The present research work was aimed to develop SCC by using Lime stone quarry fines and fly ash as filler and to study its effect on abrasion resistance of Self Compacting concrete. The test results indicate that the SCC mixes with lime stone quarry fines and fly ash significantly improved the depth of wear, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength.
