Description
From recent issues of stability, particle suspension, particle segregation, flow
characteristics and cohesiveness in concrete, Superplasticizer has played an important
role in this part. This research examined the effect of superplasticizer on workability
and properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Three types of superplasticizers
Conplast SP 561, Conplast SP 430 and Conplast SP 264 at different percentages (0, 10,
20 and 30%) with the same water cement ratio of 0.3, with M30 grade of concrete. The
workability slump, v-funnel and l-box the test carried out on fresh concrete.
Compressive strength test was carried out on the hardened concrete. All mix were
satisfactory but the mix with conplast SP 430 had better workability and strength
