Abstract
This study measured the inherent effect of two micro fillers on the young, hardened characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Disposing of secondary industrial products creates several environmental problems that increase with time, particularly non-pozzolanic reactions. In this experimental study, two industrial by-products of the non-pozzolanic group, limestone powder (LP) and marble powder (MP), were selected. Five diverse compositions and three cement replacement levels of 10%, 15%, and 20% were used. The concrete flow, sieve segregation, and microstructural analysis tests were performed on SCC combination mixes. Based on the results, LP as replacement enhanced the workability of the SCC combination mixes by up to 24% compared with zero filler SCC (SCC0). A higher MP content (15%) boosts the compressive strength, densifies the internal framework, and improves resistance against bleeding and segregation of SCC.
