Production of self-compacting concrete containing limestone powder with the effect of internal and external salts

This study aims at investigating the influence of different amounts of internal sulphate (CaSO4) and external salts on the properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). Three sets of mixes (No.1), (No.2) and (No.3) which are reference mix, mixes with internal sulphate and mixes exposed to external s...
