This paper discusses the concept of self-consolidating concrete mix with Alccofine-1203, superplasticizer, viscosity modification agent, crimped steel fiber on RC beam column joint. Totally, eight reinforced-concrete (RC) joints M25 grade were considered in this study. Out joints, two served as Alccofine, joint specimens Alccofine 5%, Alccofine-10%, and Alccofine-15%. All tested under compressi...

This paper presents an extensive literature survey of the software COTS component selection methods published to date, followed by a metamodel consolidating the activities and practices of these methods. Together with data collected from practitioners and researchers in the embedded systems domain, we provide concrete recommendations which will enable organizations to identify suitable practice...

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and fillers play an important role in enhancing the mechanical properties durability of concrete. SCMs are commonly used self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures to also enhance their rheological properties. However, these additives could have significant effects on viscoelastic Existing models for predicting creep drying shrinkage do not consider e...

Compressive strength and concrete slump are the most important required parameters for design, depending on many factors such as concrete mix design, concrete material, experimental cases, tester skills, experimental errors etc. Since many of these factors are unknown, and no specific and relatively accurate formulation can be found for strength and slump, therefore, the concrete properties ca...
