Abstract

Based on the performance of in all stages of Self compacting concrete (SCC) can be treated as innovative construction material. Consumption of natural river sand deposits causing several environmental issues, as alternate manufactured sand (MSand) are being used as fine aggregate in place of natural river sand. This research is mainly concentrated on gradation of fine aggregate to get required best quality by examine the effect of different fineness modulus (FM) of MSand (2.5, 2.7 and 2.9) on the flexural properties of SCC with blending of binding materials as SCC_25FA_10SF; SCC_25FA_10SF and SCC_25FA_5SF_5MK. The test methods that were conducted are flexural strength for curing periods of 7,28 and 90 days. Results showed that the strength values of SCC with FM value of 2.7 gave better results than other FM values. Hence, it is revealed that proper gradation of finer and coarser fractions of MSand has to be maintained to obtain desired strength in SCC at hardened state.
