Abstract:

Concrete for sustainable infrastructure construction of civil engineering structures is required to use environmentally friendly concrete-making materials and to minimize both energy and manpower needs in concrete placing.With the intension of improving both environmental and economical sustainability, this study on self-compacting concrete with ground granulated blast furnace slag and recycled concrete aggregate was conducted. This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the production and properties of high-strength self-compacting concrete mixes with a combination of Portland cement and ultra-fine slag (up to 50% of cement replacement) and with either natural or recycled concrete coarse aggregate. The strengths development and chloride migration coefficient was evaluated. The use of ultra-fine slag was found to improve the stability of self-compacting concrete independent of the type of coarse aggregate.The use of recycled concrete decreased the strengths and modulus of elasticity and increased the chloride permeability for the high strength self-compacting concrete.
