#0183;#32;Limestone powder (LS) has been widely used in cementbased materials; and reportedly, can influence their properties by filler, nucleation, dilution and chemical effects. The action mechanism of LS mainly depends on its particle size and amount. The filler effect of LS refines the microstructure and reduces the porosity of cementbased materials.
#0183;#32;Plain concrete is the concrete mixing with PC1, which is OPC, and fine and coarse aggregates. As the replacement of limestone powder increased, peak intensities of unhydrated Calcite(CaCO 3) and Quartz(SiO 2) were also increased. From the results, some limestone powders in PLC were used to form new hydration products.
The addition of calcite to the concrete by weight (5,10,15,20 percent) increases workability. The test results clearly indicated that, lesser number of voids presented in Calcite induction concrete as compared to Plain Concrete (ref USPV Table and graphs).

The results indicated that, the residual compressive and flexural strength of 10 and15 % limestone fines as additive to cement content by mass are generally higher than those of convention...
As an increase in cement content leads to a significant rise in material cost and often has other negative ef fects on concrete properties (, increased thermal stress and shrinkage, etc.), the requirement for increased powder content in SCC is usually met by the use of pozzolanic or less reactive filler materials.
Calcium carbonate is wildly used in cementitious composites at different scales and can affect the properties of cementitious composites through physical effects (such as the filler effect, dilution effect and nucleation effect) and chemical effects.
This interaction of polycarboxylate based admixtures with powder materials affects the fresh and hardened charac teristics of the concrete at meso and macro levels. In the present study, the interaction of powder material paste with admixtures in the SCC was investigated at nanomicro and meso levels.
However as early age carbonation methods have gained recognition due to its substantial carbon sequestration proficiencies, some authors argue the effect of earlyage carbonation curing under weathering carbonation for precast concrete quot;Experimental results suggest that earlyage carbonated concretes with high w/c ratios (gt;gt;) are more likely to be affected by weathering carbonationquot;,
admixture with cement is increase the powder content in concrete. As the increasing percentage of calcite from 020 and fly ash constant at 20 percent, the Slump flow test, Lbox, Vfunnel, Jring tests of workability for selfcompacting concrete are increasing because increase in powder content in concrete.
#0183;#32;Fig. 5. Effect of dolomite limestone fine powder specific surface on cement concrete compression strength at 7 days age When limestone content is optimal (25 % of binder weight), strength gain is higher than in the reference sample (0% additives) by 56 %.

Concrete is used to create hard surfaces which contribute to surface runoff that may cause soil erosion, water pollution and flooding. Conversely, concrete is one of the most powerful tools for proper flood control, by means of damming, diversion, and deflection of flood waters, mud flows, and the like.
The effects of glass powder on the concrete properties are compared to those of other mineral admixtures such as class FFA and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). A. Zidol et al. 36 2. Materials and Methods Materials Coarse aggregates
Thongsanitgarn et al. (2011) [7] concluded that limestone replacements by (5,, 10,, 15 and 20% by weight) cause reduction in the concrete compressive strength due to the dilution effect.
#0183;#32;All the SCC mixtures achieved Vfunnel values within the acceptable range. The effects of CC materials can be attributed to the shape characteristics and particle fineness of the powder materials (OPC + CC). Finer powder materials result in better flow
Such concrete has been widely used to facilitate construction operations, especially in sections possessing special d ifficulties to casting and vibration such as bottom, sides of beam, girders and slabs [2 ]. Use of SCC saves time, improves working environment and opens th e way for the automation of the concrete construction.
