Evaluation the use of Iraqi cement in production self-compacting concrete (SCC)‎

الملخص EN

A laboratorial test analysis has been made to evaluate a Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixes by using the available Iraqi cement.

Six types of Iraqi cement are used in this study.

Extensive preliminary physiochemical tests have been carried out for all types of cement.

Fresh concrete tests show that the maximum and minimum slump flow values of 758 mm and 650 mm have obtained from SCC mixes made of Kerbala (Sulfate Resistance) and Tasluja (Ordinary) respectively.

Kerbala (Sulfate Resistance) fulfills 2 sec and 8 sec are the minimum values through T50 cm and V-Shape Tests The maximum and minimum compressive strength values of 62.7 Mpa and 40 Mpa have been obtained after 28 days from SCC mixes made of Tasluja cement (Ordinary) and Kerbala cement (Sulfate Resistance) respectively.
