In this study the main purpose of experiment was to investigate the effect of mineral admixture on self-consolidating concrete rheology. Rheological parameters are important in the behavior of fresh SCC. On the other hand, we investigated rheology for improved concrete properties and reduced the cement consumption with using mineral admixtures. Also in this research, we tried to make mixture with the least cement in order to reduce the CO2 produced by cement.
In this research, the samples were divided into three groups. The first group consists of 13 mixtures with silica fume (SF), metakaolin (MK) and granulated blast-furnaced slag (GGBS). Silica fume with 4, 8 and 15 percent, metakaolin with 15, 20 and 25 percent, granulated blast-furnaced slag with 20, 30 and 40 percent in mixtures were used as replacement of Portland cement. Also, the combination of admixtures were utilized in binary and ternary. The second group consists of 7 mixtures with 8 percent silica fume and 20 percent metakaolin replacement for all mixtures and the granulated blast-furnaced slag in 15, 30 and 45 percent. All mixtures contained 100 kg/m3 limestone powder.
All mixture of three groups with constant slump were 700±30 mm with temperature of 21±2 °C. The fresh properties were investigated by workability tests (slump flow, T50 and...) and rheology test. The hardened properties were tested for compressive strength at the age of 7 and 28 days.
The fresh concrete test result revealed that silica fume increased yield stress and decreased plastic viscosity. Metakaolin and granulated blast-furnaced slag decreased yield stress and plastic viscosity. By combining two and three of these admixtures, the negative effects on the rheological parameter increased due to the increase in the amount of replacement. Also, combining three of these admixtures to make mixtures with minimum of cement up to 73% replacement, resulted in reduction of both rheological parameters, but no trace of separation has been observed and had good stability and acceptable compressive strength.
