摘要
Reusing industrial by-products and agricultural waste as supplementary cementitious materials for producing sustainable concrete is one of the most promising ways to reduce cement production and the detrimental effects of concrete constructions on the environment. However, when it comes to preparing self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and mortar (SCMO) containing such materials in high volume, bleeding, and segregation of their fresh mixture are the crucial factors hindering their large-scale application. In this regard, the main aim of this study is to address such issues by designing sustainable SCMO using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in high volume and rice husk ash (RHA) with comparatively lower environmental impact and high quality. To achieve this goal, the workability of fresh mixture and all its three main characteristics, including segregation resistance, passing ability, and filling ability, were evaluated with recently developed empirical apparatuses. For this purpose, 12 mixtures with different compositions were prepared to investigate the fresh properties, compressive strength, setting time, and environmental impact index. The results indicate that there are inextricable links between mixing proportions, strength, and carbon emissions of the mixture. Sustainable SCMO with an embodied-CO2 index lower than 4.5 kg/MPa.m3, good workability, and compressive strength of 49.7 MPa was designed by optimizing cementitious content, while the e-CO2 index of the control mixture was around 8 kg/MPa.m3. The addition of GGBFS and RHA not only decreased the e-CO2 index but also increased the unit cement strength contribution index. The results also indicated that by increasing GGBFS, the fluidity and segregation of the mixture increased while adding RHA increased viscosity and modified bleeding and the segregation index. Moreover, the growth rate of the compressive strength in mixtures containing GGBFS was much higher than that of the control mix at the same age. The promising results of this experimental study indicate that utilization of GGBFS and RHA in SCMO mixture can provide a practical way to reduce the environmental effects of cement production and pave the way for friendly disposal of slag and waste products.
