Self-Consolidating High Performance Concrete with Rice Husk Ash

Self-consolidating high performance concrete (SCHPC)
is a special concrete that spreads through congested
reinforcement and fills every corner of the formwork
under self-weight, provides high strength, and shows
good durability. It is produced by exploiting the
benefits of high-range water reducer and
supplementary cementing materials such as silica
fume, fly ash, and rice husk ash. The development of
SCHPC with rice husk ash is the main theme of this
book. It gives readers a thorough understanding of
the key aspects of SCHPC. The properties of the
material, binder paste, and mortar components of
SCHPC are discussed in this book. In addition, this
book discusses the key properties of fresh and
hardened SCHPCs including segregation resistance,
highlights the effects of rice husk ash, and provides
empirical models for filling ability and compressive
strength. It also gives a mixture design method for
SCHPC. This book is particularly suitable for
researchers and engineers who deal with SCHPC. It
will also be a valuable reference for all
professionals working with concrete. Above all, this
book will guide the concrete industry to produce
SCHPC with and without rice husk ash.

Klappentext

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 resistance,highlights 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.
