Abstract

This study aimed to examine the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) developed using eggshell powder (ESP) and granulated ground blast furnace slag (GGBFS) as partial cement replacement. The coarse aggregate impact value was 21.6% and the water absorption of the fine aggregates was 24 wt%. 10 wt% partial replacement was optimal for flow-ability and workability. SCC with 20 wt% partial replacements had the highest compressive strength at 41.34 kN/mm2 and 42.4 kN/mm2 for ESP and GGBFS respectively after 28 days of curing. SCC with 20 wt% partial replacements had the highest flexural strength at 3.2 kN/mm2 for both ESP and GGBFS after 28 days of curing. From the microstructural analysis, partial replacement with mineral admixtures improved the interfacial interactions between constituents of the concrete and GGBFS SCC gave a better interfacial interaction between the concrete constituents than ESP SCC. In summary, GGBFS had better fresh, hard and microstructural properties than ESP.
