Fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete containing recycled fine clay brick aggregates

Clay brick is one of the major components of demolition waste, which is generally landfilled. Effective and new uses of recycled clay brick may provide sustainability benefits in terms of landfill reduction. Therefore, this research aims at applying Recycled fine clay brick aggregates (RFCBA) with sizes from 0.075 mm–4.75 mm to prepare Self...

Investigations of mixing technique on the rheological properties of self-compacting concrete

Rheological properties are of significant importance in successful placement and performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC). In this work, the rheological properties of SCC, combined with a powder-viscosity modifying admixture, were investigated based on a series of experimental studies. The modified Bingham model was applied to determine...
