Abstract: In the current research work the fresh properties
(filling and passing ability, and resistance to segregation of
self-compacted concrete (SCC) are investigated with the
nanocomposite particles. Under the scope of the research work,
the rheological parameters of the fresh self-compacting concrete
(SCC) fused with nano sized Blasting Grit (nBG) (average particle
size 500 nm) and rod like Zinc Ash (nZA) (average particle size
300 nm) are analyzed. In the scope of the work nZA and nBG are
fused in Pozzolana Portland Cement (PPC) and Fine Aggregate
(FA) respectively, for 0%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% by weight of
material. The rheological behavior of SCC like filling ability,
passing ability and segregation resistance are studied for the
modification in SCC. The result shows significance of the
material and test method used in this experiment. The output of
the experiment shows that the rate of fusing of nZA and nBG in
ingredients of the concrete contributes in rheological and
mechanical properties of SCC. For the validation of the
experimental results the statistical models also prepared, the
regression model, ANOVA model and Correlation model gives the
importance of the ingredients used along with selected test for the
work. The current research is useful for developing zinc ash and
blasting grit as a building material. The outcomes of the
experiments are more important in a fresh stage of the SCC which
was developed as a sustainable way with the good flowing ability.

I. INTRODUCTION
Concrete is second largest material after water, which is
consumed by human beings. The main ingredient of concrete
is cement which required energy and raw material for its
production across the world. As of now, the worldwide
utilization of cement is roughly 3.3 billion tons every year and
is expanding at nearly 1% every year [1]. Self-Compacting
Concrete (SCC) was introduced in JAPAN in 1988, in SCC
there is no need of compaction by any means with
enhancement in mechanical and durability properties of
concrete [2]. The building business is swinging progressively
to the utilization of SCC with the end goal to enhance
numerous parts of building development as SCC offers a few
points of interest in specialized, monetary, furthermore,
ecological terms. New SCC flow into place and around
obstacles under its very own weight to fill the formwork
totally and self-reduced with no isolation and blocking. SCC
blends for the most part have a substantially higher substance
of fine fillers.

As an outcome of the exploratory works and based on
information accessible in specialized writing,
self-compacting concrete must to give a higher characteristic
durability and a lower tendency to break[3,4].In current
improvement the rubble powder and coarse aggregate [5,6],
Magnetic water and filler materials like fly ash [7,8], Curing
agents [8], Palm oil clinker [9], red mud with fly ash [10],
copper dioxide [11] is used as additives of SCC. There is a
relationship between ingredients of mix design, green and
harden properties of SCC [12]. Hardness and elastic modulus
were increased and porosity decreases due to the addition of
SiO2, TiO2 and Al2O3 [13,14]. Without affecting the strength
of SCC palm oil fuel ash increases the acid and sulphate
resistance, reduces dry shrinkage and water absorption [15].
The crushed marble stone enhances the green and harden
stage properties of SCC [16]. The varies types of mineral
admixtures increases properties of SCC in all respect [17].
Zinc is 985 places among 1662 hazards materials, Zinc Ash
(ZA) is the generated as waste material approximately more
than 80% of zinc ash were collected during the galvanizing
process [18,19]. Steel grit available in angular shape and
rough in nature, it's used for surface improvement technology
for metal in the paint industry by pressure blasting action. Its
particle ranges between 50mm to 100 nm [20]. The main
objective of this work is to investigate the rheological
properties of fresh SCC with nZA and nBG. This area of
research needs more exploration and this study may important
for future construction and help to find the possibility of nZA
and nBG as ingredients of SCC in order to develop
sustainable SCC.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) Ambuja made confirming
to BIS [21], basalt rock as crush aggregates with 10 mm
maximum size of aggregate [22] and Tapi river sand of zone
II confirming to BIS [22] is used for the production of the
SCC.The locally available waste materials from the paint
industry in Nasik, (MS), India i.e. nZA and nBG are used as
additives in cement and fine aggregate respectively. Chemical
Composition of mild steel nBG shown in Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM) and X Ray Diffraction (XRD) image in
Table 1 and Figure 1 (a). It has rough surface crystals and less
specific surface area than nZA. The average range of size of
used nBG is up to 500 nm. nZA is waste product from paint
industry. The chemical composition of nZA is tabulated in
Table 1 with SEM and XRD image details in Figure 1(b).
