| Abstract | Self-compacting concrete, also referred to as self-consolidating concrete, is able to flow and consolidate under its own weight and is de-aerated almost completely while flowing in the formwork. It is cohesive enough to fill the spaces of almost any size and shape without segregation or bleeding. This makes SCC particularly useful wherever placing is difficult, such as in heavily-reinforced concrete members or in complicated work forms. The objectives of this research were to make a synergic effect of Rice husk Ash (RHA) and Sugar cane bagasse ash(SCBA) incorporated in self compaction concrete in order to increase in strength and a better bonding between aggregate and cement paste, . The mix design used for making the concrete specimens was based on previous research work from literature. The water – cement ratios varied from 0.3 to 0.75 while the rest of the components were kept the same, except the chemical admixtures, which were adjusted for obtaining the self-compactability of the concrete. All SCC mixtures exhibited greater vaules in compressive strength after being tested, the compressive strength was around 40% greater. In addition, the SCC had a good rheological properties as per the requirements from European standards from economical point of view the pozzolanic replacements were cheap and sustainable. In the experiments cement was replaced with 0%, 2.5%, 5% of both blended mixture of rice husk ash and sugar cane bagasse ash. This was possible due to the use of mineral and chemical admixtures, which usually improve the bonding between aggregate and cement paste, thus increasing the strength of concrete. |
