Design and cost economic analysis of self compacting concrete for mivan shuttering

Abstract

This paper summarizes the experimental work performed to design a self-compacting concrete for Mivan shuttering and cost analysis of cost of the designed per m3 mineral and chemical admixtures. Workability tests such as Flow table test, V funnel test and U box tests were conducted. Compressive Strength test was performed out on hardened 150mm concrete cubes after 3, 7, & 28 days curing in water. The output of the research work was a highly workable concrete which could be used for densely reinforced sections of Mivan shuttering.
