Self-Compacting Concrete with Local Materials for Reinforced Concrete Structures

The article discusses the prospects of using self-compacting concrete (SCC) based on local raw materials to produce reinforced concrete structures. The focus is on reducing energy consumption in the construction industry by eliminating heat treatment and mechanical sealing processes, as well as minimizing transportation costs. In Kazakhstan, the application of SCC is limited; however, studies confirm its effectiveness. Experiments demonstrate that incorporating zeolite and stone flour as fillers improves the rheological properties of concrete and reduces cement consumption while maintaining high performance. The resulting mixture achieves B30 strength and meets the re-quirements for floor slab production. Microstructural analysis revealed enhanced strength and density properties of the concrete due to active additives. The adoption of SCC technologies can reduce direct energy costs by 20–25% and promote sustainable development in the industry by utilizing local resources and lowering envi-ronmental impact. To this end, SCC compositions based on local raw materials were developed, and the interactions among concrete components during property formation were investigated. Concrete with reduced binder content and average strength was suc-cessfully produced.
