THE EFFECT OF MINERAL ADMIXTURES IN SELF-CONCRETE

Abstract

With the advancement and progression of modern concrete techniques the focus is no longer limited to achieving high strength, but increasingly emphasises workability, volume stability, and durability, etc. In the field of high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete represents one of the most significant breakthroughs in recent decades. However, the large quantity of cement required in its preparation not only raises costs and pollutes the environment but also negatively impacts concrete quality. Combining self compacting concrete with mineral admixtures can address environmental pollution, reduce costs, and enhance performance. Based on this, the article explores the current research and development of different mineral admixtures in self-compacting concrete, summarises and evaluates existing findings, and identifies current research limitations and future directions. The results of this study can provide important references for the 
formulation and development of self-compacting concrete.
