Abstract |
|
This paper presents an experimental investigation on the effect of fresh and hardens properties of SCC while using xanthan gum as VMA. Using new generation chemical admixture makes it possible to produce self-compacting concrete (SCC). However, avoid segregation and bleeding of concrete, either fine material content should be increased, or a viscosity modifying agent (VMA) should be used. In this study modifying fresh properties of self-compacting concrete with optimum dosage of Xanthan gum. Slum flow, V-funnel, U-box, L-box, J-ring tests were conducted to determined fresh properties of SCC. Compressive, Tensile, Flexure tests were conducted to determine harden properties of SCC. To camper results of fresh and harden properties of SCC conventional or SCC with xanthan gum. |
