A Review on Mix Design of Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract

In recent years, the use of self-compacting concrete in structures has increased significantly around the world Many studies have been carried out on the characteristics of this type of concrete with the urgent need to design concrete mix and to find the material ratios used in this type of concrete so far there are no standard mix design self-compacting concrete methods, but there are many types of research to design mixes. Hence the need to review and compare these methods is of considered interest. The review of these studies helps researchers to choose the appropriate method of designing the mixtures of self-compacting concrete and their requirements, whether the strength or workability requirements.

Study of Nanotechnology in Concrete Compounds and Properties when Adding Polypropylene Fibers to Design a Concrete Mix

“…He used cubes at ages 7, 28 and 90 days, and compared them and studied them to find out the deformation, strain and stress resulting from them [4]. Nuha H. Aljubory et al (2020) showed the adoption of the principle of comparison and research among other studies for the purpose of obtaining a concrete mixture of acceptable specifications [5]. While, Krishna Murthy et al (2012) added a specific type of additive to improve the workability of the concrete mix.…”
