Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete
Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete Book By Kamal H. Khayat
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) , also known as self-consolidating concrete
, was developed in the late 1980’s, although earlier ‘look-alikes’ surely exist,
though not defined as such. In comparison with conventional concrete, referred to
in this report as vibrated concrete (VC), SCC can be considered on the one hand as
a new type of high-performance material of a different approach to mix design and
rheological characteristics. On the other hand, SCC can be seen as a new approach
to casting concrete enabled by adjusted fresh concrete properties. In reality, SCC is
a combination of both approaches that has enabled to push the boundaries of
concrete technology to a new area.
