Abstract

The present research focuses on enhancing self-compacting concrete ‎(SCC)‎ using binary and quaternary mixes made from different binder materials: cement, silica fume, fly ash, and steel slag powder. This type of concrete is designed to move on its own and fill molds evenly while maintaining component homogeneity. In the experiments, cement was partially substituted with fly ash, silica fume, or steel slag powder at levels ranging from 10% to 40%. A notable quaternary blend is proposed, consisting of 60% cement, 20% silica fume, 10% fly ash, and 10% steel slag powder, noting that this blend delivers strong and reliable self-compacting concrete behavior. The research evaluated the fresh concrete properties including flow slump, L-box slump, j-ring, and sieve segregation resistance tests, alongside hardened concrete properties, compressive strength and tensile splitting strength. These findings indicate that the suggested blend enhances the self-compacting concrete characteristics and properties, offering better performance for potential applications in construction.
