PRELIMINARY
1.1 Background
Self Compacting Concrete is basically a concrete which is capable of
flowing into the form work, without segregation and bleeding, reduces
manpower, better finishes, easier placement, better durability, thinner
concrete sections, lesser noise levels, no vibration, safer working
environment, to fill uniformly and completely every corner of it by its own
weight without any application of vibration or other mechanism during
placing of concrete. 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. The advantages of SCC make this concrete more
desirable all over the world which includes faster construction. Such concrete
should have low yield value to ensure high flow ability, a moderate viscosity
to resist segregation and bleeding, and must maintain its homogeneity during
transportation, and placing to ensure adequate structural performance and
long term durability. It has three essential fresh concrete properties filling
ability, passing ability and segregation resistance. The demand of Self
Compacting Concrete (SCC) is growing rapidly due to the shortage of skilled
labours; it is also proved to be more economical, durable and termed as high
performance concrete. The quality of concrete construction is of utmost
importance in order to have a durable concrete structure and one of the
reasons to make a durable structure is proper compaction which requires
skilled labors but due to shortage of skilled labors full compaction. The
solution to this is the use of self-compacting concrete which compacts in
every corner of formwork. The use of SCC is rising steadily over the years
because of their advantages and many scientists and organizations carried
out research on properties of SCC. SCC has economic, social and
environmental benefits over conventionally vibrated concrete. SCC is made
from the same basic constituents as conventional concrete but with the
addition of a viscosity modifying admixture and high levels of super-
plasticizing admixtures to impart high workability. SCC can save labour,
eliminate consolidation noise and lead to innovative construction methods.
Besides, a modern life style alongside the advancement of technology has
led to an increase in the amount and type of waste being generated, leading
to a waste disposal crisis. This research try to tackle problem of the waste
that is generated from industry field such as calcium carbide waste in the
production of acetylene gas in welding. The main objective of this research
work is to determine the compressive strength and workability of concrete
when calcium carbide is used as a partial replacement of cement to reduce
its accumulation as a waste in the environment.
1.2 FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM
Based on background above we decided the formulation of the problem as
below :
1. How the workability of self compacting concrete using calcium carbide as
a partial replacement of cement?
2. How the compressive strength result of self compacting concrete using
calcium carbide as a partial replacement of cement?
1.3 AIM
The aim of this research is :
1. To find out the workability of self compacting concrete using calcium
carbide as a partial replacement of cement.
2. To measure the compressive strength obtained.
1.4 BENEFITS
This research was expected to give information about self compacting
concrete to the readers and as a suggestion for the scientist in Indonesia to
develop the idea about utilization of waste industry in self compacting
concrete.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Self-Compacting Concrete
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete mixture that
is able to consolidate under its own weight. The highly fluid nature of SCC
makes it suitable for placing in difficult conditions and in section with
congested reinforcement. Use of SCC can also help minimize hearing-
related damages on the worksite that are induced by vibration of
concrete. Another advantage of SCC is that the time required to place
large sections is considerably reduced.
Prof. Shriram H. Mahure (2014) had studied about the fresh and
hardened properties of self compacting concrete using Fly ash as partial
replacement of cement in different percentages in addition to filler. 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.
Rafat Siddique (2013) investigated about the strength and durability
properties of Self-Compacting concrete which is obtained by partially
replacing natural sand with waste foundry sand (WFS). He replaced the
Natural sand with WFS by 0%, 10%, 15% and 20% in terms of weight. He
studied the fresh properties of concrete before computing the strength
parameters. Compressive strength and split tensile strength test were
obtained at the age of 7, 28, and 56 days and to determine the durability
of the concrete, sulphate resistance was evaluated at the age of 7, 28 and
56 days and Rapid Chloride Permeability test was conducted at age of 28
days. Test results have shown that there is increase in compressive
3
strength and split tensile strength of self-compacting concrete and also
the durability properties have been improved by incorporating waste
foundry sand as a replacement of Natural sand.
2.2 Calcium Carbide
Calcium Carbide Waste (CCW), a by-product from acetylene gas (C2H2)
production. It is obtained from the reaction between water and calcium
carbide (CaC2) as shown in the equation below:
CaC2 + 2H2O→ C2H2 + Ca(OH)2
Beyond its obvious values acetylene as a fuel gas is employed in
agriculture for repining of fruits and as an excellent choice for many
critical heating processes including; flame heating, flame gouging,
welding, flame hardening, flame cleaning, flame straightening, thermal
spraying and many other heating applications. However, in most of the
developing countries including Nigeria acetylene gas is used in oxy-
acetylene gas welding. The residue (CCW) is mostly disposed of carelessly
as a waste in the environment which sooner or later gets incorporated
into the soil. An investigation carried out by Abiya et al. have shown that
a concentration of CCW above 100g could drastically reduce the growth
rate of Okra plant. Regardless of its adverse effect on the environment,
CCW also has its essential advantages. A research study conducted by
Wang et al. has confirmed that the main chemical compositions of the
calcium carbide slag were basically the same as that of natural limestone.
Jaturapitakkul and Roongreung also reported that a pozzolanic reaction
could occur when calcium carbide residue is mix with rice husk ash in a
mortar and achieved a highest compressive strength of 15.6 MPa at 28
days.

METHODOLOGY
b. Coarse Aggregate

2. Coarse aggregates must be consisting of hard particles and not
porous. Grains of coarse aggregate must be eternal, meaning
that they are not broken or destroyed by the effects of weather,
such as sun and rain.
3. Coarse aggregates may not contain more than 1% sludge
(determined against dry weight).
4. Coarse aggregates may not contain substances that can damage
concrete, such as alkaline reactive substances.
To determine the characteristics of the aggregates can be done by
testing as standardized (sieving analytics, density, water absorption,
volume weight, moisture, and the cleanliness of the aggregate of
the mud). Coarse aggregate used in this study were derived from
the coarse aggregate of crushed stone.
c. Fine Aggregate
Fine aggregates are aggregates which all the grain penetrate 4.8
mm sieve. The general requirements for fine aggregates used as
concrete mixtures are as follows (PBI-1971):
1. Fine aggregate can be either natural sand, taken from the river
or in the form of artificial sand produced from stone crusher.
2. The grain must be sharp and hard, not broken or destroyed by
the effects of weather.
3. Must not contain more than 5% sludge (determined by dry
weight).
4. Must not contain organic ingredients too much. For this color
experiments can be carried out from Abrams-Harder with NaOH
solution.

d. Binder
Binder is a binding material in a concrete mixture consisting of
cement and filler, if it’s used as a filler. In this study researchers used
calcium carbide waste as a mixture of Self-Compacting-Concrete
making.
e. Cement

dispose of or at least reduce the accumulation of certain kind
of waste, it has been suggested to reuse some of these waste
materials to substitute a percentage of theprimary material
used in concrete (cement). The recycling of these materials
not only helps conserve natural resources but also help to
solve growing waste disposal crisis. The calcium carbide has a
chemical formula of CaC2 , when it react with water it produce

h. Water
1. The water used for making concrete must be clean, must not contain
oil, alkaline acids, salts, organic substances or other materials that
can damage concrete or reinforcing steel.
2. It should not contain chloride (Cl)> 500 mg per liter of water.
3. Fresh water that cannot be drunk shouldn't be used for making
concrete.

CLOSING
5.1 Conclusion
From the results of the current study, the following conclusions can be
drawn:
1. CCW possess certain potential characteristics for use as admixture in
mortar.
2. The use of CCW in cement have increased the consistency, but
decreased both the initial and final setting times, hence CCW could be
classified as an accelerating admixture in cement mortar.
3. The compressive strength decreases with an increase in the percentage
of calcium carbide waste.
5.2 Suggestion
Based on our research we suggest not to use calcium carbide waste more
than 20% cement.
