CHAPTER 4

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Fresh Concrete Properties

 In this experimental program, the three workability properties, deformability,
stability, and risk of blockage, are determined by slump flow time and diameter, V-funnel
flow time, L-box height ratio, segregation ratio and the rheological parameters, relative yield
stress and relative plastic viscosity. In addition to the workability properties, setting times
and temperature rise were also measured for all SCC mixtures. Results of these tests are
summarized in the proceeding sections.

4.1.1 Slump flow

Chart 4.1 Shows that for mix of (B10M5) obtained maximum slump value &
after that when Percentage of SCBA and metakaolin increases then slump value
decreases.

4.1.2Slump flow time (T500)

 Chart 4.2 show that for the mix (B10M10) having lower time up to 6 sec.
which is acceptable can be used this concrete for civil engineering application. Also,
B10M10 having lower time to flow (7 second) which indicates greater flowability.

4.1.3 V-funnel
The V-funnel flow times were in the range of 9.4 to 19.2 sec. According to
EFNARC, the accepted range of V-funnel flow time for SCC is 6 to 12 sec.
 Chart 4.5 shows that B10M5 required less time to flow which tends to have
good workability

4.1.4 L-box
L-box used to assess the self compact ability and flowability of concrete. The
L-box height ratios were in the range of 0.85 to 0.95.
From chart 4.4 Show that B10M5 And B10M10 having equal value of H1/H2
nearly equal to unity hence having better workability
