DIFFERENT MINERAL ADMIXTURES IN ROLLER COMPACTED CONCRETE (original) (raw)

In today's world, all kind of materials are used to improve the materials used in project. Our research is about different mineral admixture on a type of concrete called roller compacted concrete (RCC), which has various uses in paving and dam construction. In this article, the effect of some mineral admixture on the mechanical properties and durability of roller compacted concrete has been investigated. Several mineral admixtures, such as metakaolin, fly ash, silica fume, ground granulated blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, palm oil fuel ash, and, either completely or partially replace cement. In this work, an attempts has been made to find out how adding these mineral admixtures can improve the performance of roller compacted concrete. The strength obtained varies based on the mineral admixtures produced by adding them to roller compacted concrete. The reviewed results of the work done have shown that 5-10% of silica fume, 15-20% of metakaolin, 10-15% of fly Ash, 10% of limestone, 5% of RHA and Coal waste powder, 15% of steel filing, 10% of (Bagasse Ash , natural pozzolan and Basalt rock flour), 15% of GGBS, 10% of POFA and Sugarcane ash, 2% of nano silica cement substitute has the best results on mechanical properties and durability of RCC.
