Application of industrial by-products as mineral admixtures for self-compacting concrete

Abstract

© 2018 Union of Croatian Civil Engineers and Technicians. All rights reserved. Although the use of waste materials as mineral admixtures for self-compacting concrete can contribute to solving the problem of their disposal, the effect of such use should be further explored. The influence of fly ash, powdered waste brick elements - roof tiles, flotation tailing and silica fume, on the consistency, compressive strength, bending tensile strength, and tensile splitting strength of concrete, is studied. Selfcompacting concrete mixtures test results are compared to a common concrete mixture.
