Self-Consolidating High Performance Concrete with Rice Husk Ash

Self-consolidating high performance concrete (SCHPC)is a special concrete that spreads through congestedreinforcement and fills every corner of the formworkunder self-weight provides high strength and showsgood durability. It is produced by exploiting thebenefits of high-range water reducer andsupplementary cementing materials such as silicafume fly ash and rice husk ash. The development ofSCHPC with rice husk ash is the main theme of thisbook. It gives readers a thorough understanding ofthe key aspects of SCHPC. The properties of thematerial binder paste and mortar components ofSCHPC are discussed in this book. In addition thisbook discusses the key properties of fresh andhardened SCHPCs including segregation resistancehighlights the effects of rice husk ash and providesempirical models for filling ability and compressivestrength. It also gives a mixture design method forSCHPC. This book is particularly suitable forresearchers and engineers who deal with SCHPC. Itwill also be a valuable reference for allprofessionals working with concrete. Above all thisbook will guide the concrete industry to produceSCHPC with and without rice husk ash.
