Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures designated for precast, prestressed applications should be highly workable to flow easily through restricted spacing and completely encapsulate reinforcements without any mechanical vibration. Key workability characteristics of SCC can be described in terms of filling ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. These properties are typical...

ABSTRACT The self-consolidating concrete presents properties that improve the constructive process, it has main characteristic of flowing under its own weight and completely filling formwork, without need compaction. However, uncertainty about shear strength, due to differences in coarse aggregate volume size this compared conventional vibrated concrete, is one barriers acceptance. Self-consoli...

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is becoming a popular choice in concrete industry due to ease of placement in congested reinforcements, reduced labor and equipment, nonsegregating character, and smooth surface. Due to its sensitivity to aggregate grading, proportions, admixtures, and filler contents and being a relatively new material, more information are required on the effects of aggregate...
