Abstract
This paper provides an extensive overview of the research studies on the influence of SCBA on the heat of hydration of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The paper discusses various researches that have been reported in peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, and technical notes upon the impact of SCBA on the new and hardened characteristics of SCC, including as compressive strength, workability, durability and setting time. The paper also presents different methods and techniques used to evaluate the heat of hydration of SCC containing SCBA, including isothermal calorimetry, thermogravimetry, and thermocouples. The findings of the studies suggest that the use of SCBA in SCC can significantly reduce the heat of hydration, which can mitigate the risk of thermal cracking and improve the long-term durability of the structures. The review concludes with some recommendations for future research directions in this area, highlighting the potential benefits of using SCBA in SCC as a sustainable construction material. The paper insights into the utilization of SCBA in SCC and its impact on its strength, workability, and concreteâs durability, highlighting its potential benefits for utilizing SCBA in concrete production for sustainable construction.
