Abstract

Global concrete demand is causing depletion of natural resources at an alarming rate. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative solution as it uses less aggregates; however, the drawback of SCC is that high cement content is required compared to conventional concrete. Considering that cement production emits 7% of carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas emissions, the use of high content of cement in SCC production is concerning. Though the high powder content of SCC may be of a concern, however, it allows the opportunity to substitute the cement content with supplementary cementitious materials. This experimental work was therefore conducted to reduce the cement content by substituting it with waste materials, such as eggshell powder (ESP) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA), and develop an eco-efficient SCC. The cement content was partially substituted by 0 to 5% ESP and 0 to 15% POFA by weight of total binder. A total of 90 cubes of 100 mm and 60 cylinders of 100 × 200 mm dimension were prepared to evaluate the compressive and splitting tensile strengths, modulus of elasticity, and Poisson’s ratio. Furthermore, the environmental impact assessment was conducted to assess the embodied CO₂ and eco-strength efficiency of the developed eco-efficient SCC. It was found that the combination of POFA and ESP increased pozzolanic reactivity, developing additional calcium silicate hydrate gels, thus increasing strength. The combination of 2.5% ESP and 5% POFA (a total of 7.5% cement substitution) was deemed to be the optimal combination as it provided better strength in SCC after 28 days of curing, which leads to 9.66% higher compressive strength than the control SCC. Furthermore, the developed SCC was observed to be eco-friendly as it reduced embodied carbon ranging from 3.86 to 15.33% and eco-efficiency ranging from 2.38 to 15.48% on 28 days compared to the control SCC.
