Experimental Testing of SSC based on Slump Flow Test, V-funnel test, and L-box test

Abstract

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) can flow and compact itself under its own weight, even in areas with closely spaced reinforcement. This research examines the characteristics of SCC using materials such as fine and coarse aggregates, cement, superplasticizer, marble powder, and silica fume. Five beam specimens were tested, each with varying proportions of cement, silica fume, and marble powder. The experimental procedures included the slump flow test, V-funnel test, and L-box test. The results showed that the average compressive strength was approximately 31.33 MPa at 5 days, increasing to 42.07 MPa at 30 days. These findings suggest that self-consolidating concrete exhibits reliable performance.
