Flowability and Compressive Strength of Lime Stone Calcinated Clay Cement based ECC

Abstract

Abstract This article helps to determine the exact flowable behaviour and compressive strength of Lime stone calcinated clay cement based Engineered cementitious composite. To make more sustainable and flowable ECC, cement is replaced with lime stone calcinated clay cement and PVA fibres are replaced with polypropylene fibres. Incorporation of fibres improves the toughness of casted specimen. Compressive strength test was performed to investigate the hardened property of ECC. In addition, flow table test was done to investigate the green properties of LC3 based ECC. Experimental studies showed higher flowability of the LC3 based ECC with PP fibre was at low fibre content. This research article recommends the use of LC3 based ECC with the pp fibre in case of self-compactable ECC with little modifications. Looking forward, further attempts could provide quite beneficial to the literature.
