Abstract

The paper presented herein the investigates the effect on the Self-Compacting Concrete(SCC) incorporated with supplementary cementitious materials as ternary blends. For this purpose, three supplementary materials are used Fly Ash, Nano Silica and Metakaolin.Ordinary Portland Cement act as controlled mix binder while the remaining mixtures are incorporated ternary blends of OPC, Metakaoline, Fly ash and Nano Silica. The supplementary blends are taken at a range for Fly Ash 10%,20%,30%,40% for nano silica constantly kept at 3% and Metakaoline are taken as 5%,10% and 15% with the binder content. The water cement ratio kept as 0.4.Super Plasticizer is include the concrete mixture to improve the workability. After Mixing the fresh concrete mixture were tested for slump flow, L-Box Test and V-funnel test. Most importantly compressive, split tensile and flexure test of the hardened concrete were measure at 7 and 28 days. The test results investigates the effective increment of mechanical properties with the ternary blends and achieving the standard properties of SCC.
