ABSTRACT: As construction is big role play in the development of any country .On the reviews of many
research papers on self compacting concrete (SCC) which is an innovative concrete gives a raise in development
of the work. Bubble deck slab is new techniques to construct slab with reduction in self weight, here introduction
of SCC can make the use of bubble deck increase the main advantages of self compacting concrete is that it is
capable to flow into the form work in uniform manner , without bleeding and segregation. It gives thinner
concrete section and good finishes in bubble deck slab without any use of vibrator

Introduction

Slab is most imperative component of any building.
In this paper main effect of the plastic sphere is to
reduce the dead load of the deck by 33% in evaluate
to solid slab having similar thickness without
affecting its deflection behavior & bending strength.
It locks spheres between the top and bottom
reinforced meshes, thereby it formed a natural cell
structure, acts like a solid slab. Bubble-Deck is a
two-way spanning hollow deck in which we used
recycled plastic bubbles for the purpose of eliminate
non-structural concrete, and thereby it reducing the
structural dead weight, void formers
in the middle of a flat slab eliminates 24.6 % of a
slabs self-weight. Self Compacting Concrete is a
type of concrete which is capable of flowing into the
form work uniformly, without segregation and
bleeding, better finishes, easier placement, thinner
concrete sections, no vibration, safer working
environment without any application of vibration.
Due to many advantages like faster construction,
reduction in site for thinner concrete sections,
improved durability, suitability for congested
reinforcement; this concrete becomes popular in
civil engineering construction. This paper presents
the progress of the research on different harden
properties of Self Compacting Concrete using the
Ordinary Portland Cement “Ultratek” made and low-
calcium fly ash from Birala Glass, Kosamba,
Gujarat, as binder materials in making the concrete
mixes along with other ingredients locally available
in Gujarat. The hardened properties like compressive
strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and
impact strength are found in experimental work and
are compared with M25 grade of concrete. In the
present context the Self Compacting Concrete can be
proved as boon to construction industry
The following steps are included in this phase:
2.1 Design of concrete mix
2.2 Mixing of concrete
2.3 Test Specimens
2.4 Preparation of Moulds
2.5 Harden Properties of Self Compacting Concrete
2.6 Observations and Test Results
Design of concrete Mix:
As the development of SCC started since long no
codes and standards are available for SCC
particularly in India. SCC is a one type of trial and
error method. After 13 to 14 trials decide final
proportion. General purpose Portland cement
“Ultratek” made and low-calcium fly ash from
Birala Glass, Kosamba were used as binder
materials in making the concrete mixes. Crushed
stone having a size of 12.5 mm Down and retained
at 10 mm were used in equal weight proportion
combination as coarse aggregate. This retained at 10
mm are fixed for every mix. Tapi river sand passing
through 4.75mm sieve was used as fine aggregate.
Total powder content in the mix has been taken to
525 kg/m3. A high-performance super plasticizer
named GLENIUM SKY 784, manufactured by
BASF Chemicals Limited, India is used and the
dosage level was 1.0% to 1.5% of the binder (i.e.
Cement + Fly
ash) content. In Concrete mix, the fly ash content
was
varied by 20%,30%, 40% and 55%.
Mix designations followed are given below
Mix-1: 85.0% cement and 15.0% fly ash
Mix-2: 75.0% cement and 25.0% fly ash
Mix-3: 65.0% cement and 35.0% fly ash
Mix-4: 55.0% cement and 45.0% fly ash
Mix-5: 45.0% cement and 55.0% fly ash

Mixing of concrete cement in different percentages in addition to filler.

The coarse and fine aggregates with sufficient water
to wet the aggregate and mixed for 30 seconds in a
pan-type mixer. The cement and fly ash were added
together with 70% of the mixing water and mixed
for further 2 minutes. Finally the remaining water
mixed with super plasticiser was added and the
mixing was continued for one minute. Then the
mixing was halted for 2 minutes and the mixing was
continued for another two minutes.
2.3 Test Specimens
Three types of element have been used in these
investigation namely the cubes, cylinder and square
prism.
Table .1
The fresh properties have been determined by
computing the Slump value, V-funnel value and L-
box value and the hardened properties are
determined by computing the Compressive strength,
Flexural strength and Split tensile strength of the
specimens. It is observed that the fresh properties of
concrete shows an acceptable value upto 30%
replacement of fly ash and also the hardened
properties of concrete is significantly improved
when compared to the conventional mix.
Diyala, (2013).Calculated the values of inflexibility
of the Bubble-Deck slabs in consideration with solid
slabs. The (BD2-bu80 and
BD3- bu100) plastic spheres in RCC slabs of size
(B/H=0.52, 0.82 and 0.63), were exposed to a
flexure test in which they shows some one-way
flexural cracks and lower inflexibility showing their
flexural capability. The output were compared with
solid slabs (without plastic spheres), (98%, 95% and
90%) apply the vital load of a similar reference solid
slab but only (76%, 75% and 70%)
of the concrete volume due to plastic balls,
respectively. Results shows the deflections under
service load of Bubble-Deck to be higher than those
of an corresponding solid conventional slab. The
concrete compressive strain in Bubble-Deck
specimen is greater than that of an alike
conventional solid specimen.

range of coarse aggregate content suitable for
particular coarse aggregate blending in self
compacting concrete.
C Marais et.al. (2010) presented the fiscal value for
internal spherical void formers (SVF) slabs in South
Africa and compared with the direct creation cost to
those of two other large span concrete slab systems.
They determined that the stiffness of SVF slab
should be reduced by roughly 10% related to that of
a conventional solid slab with same thickness.
Bubble-Deck-UK (2008) studied usual Bubble-
Deck technology using hollow spheres made of
reused industrial plastic to formed voids while
introducing strength through arch action. Its result
shows a dramatic fall-down in dead load by as much
as 52% permitting much longer spans. Therefore, the
Bubble-Deck has various advantages as compare to
conventional cement concrete slab, such as: reduce
total cost, less material use, increase structural
efficiency, reduce construction time.
