ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the rheological and hardened-state properties of self-compacting alkali-activated concrete (SCAAC) incorporating waste ceramic tile powder (WCP) for construction activities. Samples containing 100% ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) were used as reference. Test data revealed that the mini-slump flow enhanced, while the plastic viscosity of SCAAC was reduced when 50% or higher concentration of WCP was mixed with GBFS. Also, WCP affected the workability and plastic viscosity considerably when used in higher concentration. The strength decreased as GBFS substitution with WCP increased. In conclusion, the chemical structure, capacity, and water assimilation of GBFS underpinned the rheological behaviour of SCCAC.
