| Abstract: | The drive for green materials and desire for cheap sustainable construction additives lead the research to investigate the effects of Gum Arabic in cement paste as used in Self-Compacting concrete. Different samples with varying Gum Arabic dosages and varying W/C were used. The research discovered that Gum Arabic increases the setting time of cement thereby improving the time for transportation and placement of concrete because it takes about twice the amount of time needed for normal concrete to set for SCC made with Gum Arabic to set. |
