AI Article Synopsis
- - The review focuses on how different design parameters influence the split tensile strength to compressive strength ratio in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) that uses recycled aggregates.
- - Key design parameters analyzed include various ratios like Water to Cement, Total Aggregates to Cement, and the percentages of recycled coarse and fine aggregates.
- - Findings indicate that these design parameters significantly affect the strength ratio of SCC, highlighting the importance of careful mix design in using recycled materials in concrete.
Article Abstract
Most concrete studies are concentrated on mechanical properties especially strength properties either directly or indirectly (fresh and durability properties). Hence, the ratio of split tensile strength to compressive strength plays a vital role in defining the concrete properties. In this review, the impact of design parameters on the strength ratio of various grades of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with recycled aggregate is assessed. The design parameters considered for the study are Water to Cement (W/C) ratio, Water to Binder (W/B) ratio, Total Aggregates to Cement (TA/C) ratio, Fine Aggregate to Coarse Aggregate (FA/CA) ratio, Water to Solid (W/S) ratio in percentage, superplasticizer (SP) content (kg/cu.m), replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), replacement percentage of recycled fine aggregates (RFA), fresh density and loading area of the specimen. It is observed that the strength ratio of SCC with recycled aggregates is affected by design parameters.
