Abstract
The self-compacting concrete must contain mineral admixtures to improve the flow properties. The granite sawing waste can be utilized as mineral admixture in the self-compacting concrete. The results obtained by XRD and SEM methods show that there is a promising future for the use of this waste material as filler in self-compacting concrete, along with fly ash. The results show that the granite sawing waste and fly ash can be used to improve the properties and cost-effectiveness of the self-compacting concrete.
