Abstract
Self-compacting concrete is widely used in construction due to its efficiency, fluidity, resistance and durability. With increasing environmental concerns about solid waste disposal and the limitation of landfill space, this research has investigated the use of construction waste and small cement blocks as additives in self-compacting concrete. Different percentages of these materials (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 percent by weight of sand) were tested. Fresh concrete properties were evaluated by slump flow, V funnel, L box, J ring and U box tests and hardened properties were evaluated by compressive strength, tensile strength and permeability tests. This research used nano silica gel and VMA to increase the strength, viscosity and rheological properties of concrete. The results showed that the addition of small cement blocks improves the performance of self-compacting concrete due to porosity and water absorption. Also, the compressive and tensile strength of self-compacting concrete samples containing waste increased by 9.73%, 13.53% and 5.85%, 11.30%, respectively, compared to the control samples. This research shows that construction waste can improve the quality of self-compacting concrete and contribute to environmental sustainability.
