Strength and micro-structural properties of self-compacting concrete containing metakaolin and rice husk ash

The experimental results indicate that SCC mixes produced with MK, RHA & in combination of MK & RHA satisfies norms of EFNARC. The compressive strength and splitting tensile strength results were also positive. Mixes produced with MK and RHA showed gain in compressive strength at all the ages. Micro-structural analysis confirmed the strength development pattern of SCC mixes made with MK, RHA and in combination of both.
