Abstract

Self-compacting concretes have been of topical interest due to the ease of adoption and the significant savings in compaction efforts particularly at the congested reinforcement locations, in spite of the leak-proof forms required. However, many of the aspects regarding their production with different powder or pozzolanic additions and their corresponding mechanical strength characteristics are not yet fully understood. This paper deals exclusively with the compressive strength characteristics of these concretes incorporating limestone powder as a mineral admixture through the water cement ratio to strength results of concretes reported in literature. The basic idea is to get an idea of the SCCs at the lowest and the highest possible amounts of the limestone powder in it.
