Self-Compacting Concrete Incorporating Micro-SiO2and Acrylic Polymer

This study examined the effects of using acrylic polymer and micro-SiO₂in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Using these materials in SCC improves the characteristics of the concrete. Self-compacting samples with 1-2% of a polymer and 10% micro-SiO₂were made. In all cases, compressive strength, water absorption, and self-compacting tests were done. The results show that adding acrylic polymer and micro-SiO₂does not have a significant negative effect on the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete. In addition using these materials leads to improving them.
