Early age property evaluation of self-compacted concrete using lime and marble powder waste

The research tries to measure the inherent effect of the two micro fillers on the fresh property, i.e., plastic shrinkage and the hardened property of self-compacted concrete (SCC). It also tries to find the acceptable dose of lime powder filler waste (LF) and marble powder filler waste (MF) of SCC. Two fillers were elected from a group of natural inert industrial by-products, i.e., limestone powder waste, and marble powder waste. Employing two natural supplements of 0%, 15%, and 20% replacement of cement, M-30 concrete was designed with a different combination. The plastic shrinkage of young, hardened SCC properties and the influence of partial replacement of fills are examined. No cracks occurred even after 4 hours of the blended sample of 10% and 15% replacement. The SCC combination mixes substituted by fillers improved compressive strength up to 23% related to SCC normal specimen.
