"UTILIZATION OF WHITE CEMENT IN CONCRETE MIX CONTAINING SRPC"
Abstract: “This paper discuss the effect of white cement on concrete properties such as fresh properties (slump), mass transport properties (Isat- sorptivity) and mechanical properties (compressive- splitting tensile). The thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of cement paste containing various blending of white cement with SRPC is also investigated. Concrete specimens were prepared with SRPC, water, sand and dolomite of 10 mm maximum nominal size. The blending of white cement with SRPC were 0, 10, 20,30,40,50 and 100% at w/c = 0.50. The effect of 10% SF on compressive strength of concrete made with various percentage of white cement to SRPC is also considered. The results indicated that, 30 % percentage of white cement to SRPC exhibited peak slump, the maximum compressive and splitting strength were observed at 30 % percentage of white cement to SRPC .Also, the lowest values of Isat and sorptivity were occurred at 30 % percentage of white cement to SRPC which agree with the results of compressive a”
