Abstract
It is crucial to comprehend the durability element of self-compacting concrete with a filler waste in order to more easily use marble and lime waste and to cautiously avoid any constraints in a practical application. Two industrial by-products from the non-pozzolanic group foam (FM) and limestone powder waste (LP)are selected for this experimental effort. It was investigated how filler waste behaved in mortar, cement paste, and concrete. Experimental research was done on the characteristics of the marble and lime filler waste in SCC that was subjected to sulfate and acid attack solutions. In order to assess the impact of filler types on the early and mature properties of SCC, M-20 concrete was created. Three distinct cement replacement levels0%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of employmentas well as five different compositions were examined. To assess the young and hardened properties of SCC, several experiments were conducted utilizing three replacement levels of cement and fine aggregate, resulting in a total aggregate ratio of 0.54. The test findings demonstrated that improved deformability was achieved in SCC samples and that filler types and contents had a considerable impact on flow behavior.
