The effect of powder type on the setting time and self compactability of mortar

Single and combined effects of nano-SiO2, nano-Al2O3 and nano-TiO2 on the mechanical, rheological and durability properties of self-compacting mortar containing fly ash

“…It also improves the properties of concrete. So SCC has received added prominence in recent years [4]. However, this study investigated mortar instead of concrete as the mortar phase has similar http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.03.006 0950-0618/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.…”

“…Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is now widely developed and is a new type of concrete designed to bring many benefits to the properties of structural concrete [1][2][3][4][5]. What differentiates SCC from conventional concrete is the ability to be compacted by its own weight without the need for vibration [6][7][8].…”

Rheological properties and the air content in fresh concrete for self compacting high performance concrete

“…These characteristics should provide the ability of the mixture to fill the space between the reinforcement and the space inside the formwork under its own weight without the need for mechanical compaction [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Experimental Study of Self-Compacting Mortar Incorporating Recycled Glass Aggregate

“…The use of superplasticiser (SP) ensures deflocculating and reduces water demand of SCM mixtures and intensify intermolecular interaction of particles [40]. The dosage of superplasticiser for each mixture was determined based on the slump flow test to obtain desired flowability that met self-compactability requirements [41]. The dosage of superplasticiser of all mixes was between 0.78% and 0.82% by weight of powder.…”
