Palm oil fuel ash (POFA) has been used successfully as a supplementary cementing material in various types of concrete. In the present study, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) was produced by using POFA as a partial replacement of ordinary portland cement (OPC). In total, sixteen SCC mixes were prepared by varying water to binder (W/B) ratio, POFA content, and high-range water reducer (HRWR). POFA was used by replacing 0–30% of OPC by weight at the W/B ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.40. The filling ability, passing ability and segregation resistance of various SCC mixes were investigated. The filling ability was determined with respect to slump flow, 50-cm slump flow time, inverted slump cone flow spread and time, and V-funnel flow time. The passing ability was examined with respect to J-ring flow. In addition, the segregation resistance was assessed with regard to sieve segregation index and column segregation factor. Based on the data obtained, the correlations for the fresh properties of SCC were sought. The experimental findings showed strong correlations between most of the fresh properties of SCC.

Self-consolidation concrete (SCC) is the latest version of high performance concrete with excellent workability and high resistance to segregation and bleeding. The main objective of this project is to study the rheological properties of SCC incorporating natural and industrial pozzolans (silica fume and metakaolin, repectively) as supplementary cementing materials (SCMs). Use of such pozzolanic materials in the development of environmentally friendly and cost effective SCC can lead to sustainable construction. In this project eleven SCC mixtures are developed by incorporating different percentages of silica fume (SF) and metakaolin (MK) as replacement of cement. However, the water cement ratio of all SCC mixtures are optimized so that all mixtures satisfied the requirements of SCC in terms of fresh properties such as workability, stability, passing ability, bleeding and segregation resistance. This study particularly concentrates on evaluation of the rheological properties such as viscosity and yield stress of developed silica fume and metakaolin based SCC mixtures. The influence of SF and MK dosages on viscosity and yield stress of SCC mixtures are evaluated. Correlations among fresh and rheological properties are developed and critically reviewed to make recommendations.

Currently, there are a variety of test methods to evaluate the plastic properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) specified in provincial, national, and international guidelines. There is, however, a dearth of knowledge on how the results of the various test methods compare with each other. Some of the tests are direct measures, others are indirect; some of the tests are qualitative and others are quantitative; and some tests have specified acceptance limits while others do not. The purpose of this study, initiated by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), is to compare the plastic properties (filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance) of SCC and identify any correlations between them to determine the most appropriate test methods for evaluating the plastic properties of SCC. The filling ability (slump flow, L-box (t20 and t40), and V-funnel), passing ability (J-ring and L-box blocking ratio), and segregation resistance (visual stability index, column method, V-funnel (t5-t0)) tests are conducted on eight SCC mix designs. The results are compared to the acceptance criteria specified by the MTO for SCC. Based on the results, and their relationships, the plastic property tests most suitable for laboratory, prequalification, and field-testing are recommended.

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures designated for precast, prestressed applications should be highly workable to flow easily through restricted spacing and completely encapsulate reinforcements without any mechanical vibration. Key workability characteristics of SCC can be described in terms of filling ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. These properties are typically characterized by data that relate to specific testing methods. In general, these methods include the components required for evaluating simultaneously filling ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation, since these properties are rather interrelated. In this investigation, 33 SCC mixtures made with various mixture proportioning parameters, including maximum size and type of aggregate, type and content of binder, and w/cm were evaluated. The mixtures were prepared using crushed aggregate and gravel of three different nominal sizes, w/cm of 0.33 and 0.38, and three binder compositions: Type MS cement, Type HE cement with 30% of slag replacement, and Type HE cement with 20% of Class F fly ash. Comparisons and correlations among various test results used in evaluating the workability responses obtained for these mixtures are established. This is done to highlight advantages and limitations of the various test methods that can be used to assess workability of SCC designated for prestressed applications. Appropriate combinations of test methods that can be used to assess workability of SCC at the precast plant are recommended, and ranges of acceptance of the various test methods are established.
