Study on Rock Filled Self Compacting Concrete

Arun Raja, Dr.M. Shahul Hameed

Abstract


In large-scale concrete construction of Rock-filled concrete (RFC) was recently developed. The filling capacity of self-compacting concrete (SCC) makes it highly dependent on distinctive casting procedure of RFC. This research examined the most controversial issues regarding performance of SCC and Rock Filled Concrete (RFC). An experimental setup designed to arouse SCC flow in rock skeleton were investigated. The slump cone, L-Box, J-Ring, and V-Funnel tests were carried out on the fresh Self Compacting Concrete with the EFNARC guidelines. After each mix proportion, specimens were casted and cured for 28 days in water and compressive strength and split tensile values were determined. The result show that the strengths found better for SCC with Rock filled concrete.
