Abstract

nTo address the challenge of limited space within structural elements containing densely packed reinforcement, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) was developed. This study focuses on optimizing the experimentation process using Design of Experiments (DoE). Taguchi’s standard L(3) orthogonal array (OA) was utilized, consisting of four factors with three levels each, resulting in nine trial mixes. The factors examined include water-powder ratio, cementitious material content, superplasticizer dosage, and steel fiber content. The aim is to maximize both compressive and tensile strength of the SCC. The results indicate that specific proportions of the constituent materials lead to enhanced compressive and split tensile strength. Notably, steel fibers and fly ash content significantly contribute to strength improvement, while the dosage of superplasticizer plays a crucial role in influencing the fresh concrete characteristics of SCC.
