Modeling Wood and Fly Ash Behaviour as Partial Replacement for Cement on Compressive Strength of Self Compacting Concrete

Article history Received: 12 April 2021 Accepted: 7 May 2021 Published Online: 8 May 2021 Wood and fly ash were observed to have significant qualities that could improve the strength of self compacting concrete. The material was applied to increase the compressive strength of concrete strength. This material could be the demanding material for partial replacement for cement. The study observed the behaviour of the material from experts that applied these material through experimental investigation, but the study monitored the behaviour of this material by applied modeling and simulation to determine other effect that could influence the behaviour of these materials in compressive strength. This was to determine the significant effect on the addictive applied as partial replacement for cement. Lots of experts have done works on fly ash through experiment concept, but the application of predictive concept has not been carried out. The adoption of this concept has expressed other parameters that contributed to the efficiency of wood and fly ash as partial replacement for cement on self compacting concrete. The study adopting modeling and simulation observed 10 and 20% by weight of cement as it is reflected on its performance in the simulation, from the simulation wood recorded 10% as it was observed from the growth rate of this self compacting concrete reflected from the trend. The simulation for model validation was compared with the works of the studies carried out [20]. And both values developed best fits correlation.
