A Survey on the Mechanical Properties of Magnetic Self-Compacting Concrete Containing Nanosilica
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Self-compacting concrete with less than 20 years of background has paved the way to solve plenty of problems concerning concrete structures; especially in sections with high density of rebar and places where it is not feasible to vibrate the concrete. High resistance against shearing, no need for vibration, low cost, effective use of workforce and acceleration of the construction operations are amongst the most important characteristics of this type of concrete. The laboratorial studies on normal concrete indicate the efficiency of magnetic technology and its impact on strength, workability and endurance of normal concrete. Yet, the magnetic effects on self-compacting concrete have not been surveyed; or very few researches have been conducted in this field. Therefore, in this research we have tried to survey tensile and compressive strength of self-compacting concrete prepared by means of nanotechnology and magnet in various ages. The laboratory results represent the enhancement of mechanical characteristics of concrete, which are shown in the form of graphs and charts in the article.
