ABSTRACT

This article outlines an experimental study on different properties such as compressive strength, tensile strength, the modulus of elasticity and shrinkage of SCC, containing milled limestone powder. There is a comparative study on NC, NC (reference mixes). At first, we found an optimum mix design for SCC, then, with molding in different sizes for the required numbers in three various curing conditions (water, humid, air cured), we started to investigate. The parallel study also was carried out in order to compare these two types of concrete in different curing conditions. The results show that shrinkage in SCC is approximately twice more than that of inNC, while, elastic modulus, compressive and tensile strength do not differ significantly.
