Abstract

Self-compacting concrete is one of the newest types of concrete due to its durability, efficiency, viscosity, stability, flowability, and resistance. Nowadays, one of the most important concerns in the environment is solid waste disposal. Plastic packaging belts are one of the plastic materials that are thrown away after use and are known as waste, also iron smelting factories are the main source of iron oxide waste production. This research is based on the idea of using plastic packing belts and iron oxide waste in the design of self-compacting concrete mix with different percentages (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 percent compared to the weight of cement) and ( 0, 5, 10, 15, 20% relative to the weight of sand) was added as an additive. For fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete tests with and without fibers and iron oxide, slump flow tests, V funnel, L box, J ring, U box and compressive strength, tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse speed, Schmidt hammer, temperature effect They were evaluated on compressive strength and permeability. The results of the tests showed that with the increase in the percentage of fibers and iron oxide waste in self-compacting concrete for cubic samples, respectively, the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse speed, Schmidt hammer and the effect of temperature on the 1-day compressive strength in 28-day processing from the range of 1.61% - 72.57%, 10% - 57.5%, 3.27% - 9.27% and 5.22 – 20.64% increased compared to self-compacting concrete (control) and also the tensile strength of cylindrical samples in 28 days processing. It increased from the range of 21.09%-72.57% compared to self-density (control).
