Modification of self-compacting colored concrete by adding some polymers

In this study, two polymers were added to S-CCC. The effect of these polymers was discussed on S-CCC. Polymers were polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and poly aluminum chloride (PAC). Non-destructive tests and destructive testing were tested in this study, such as pulse velocity test, rebound number test, compressive strength and modulus of rupture. Two of the colors used in this study (red and yellow), pigments are available in the domestic market and manufactured in forging countries. PVP and PAC were used in a different percentage (0, 2, 4 and 6)% and (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75) respectively in terms of weight of cement. In general, the best properties were observed in yellow and red concrete with 4% polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
