Formwork Pressure of a Heavyweight Self-Compacting Concrete Mix

Self-Compacting Concrete - Procedure for Mix Design

Self-compacting concrete is a fluid mixture suitable for placing in structures with congested reinforcement without vibration. Self-compacting concrete development must ensure a good balance between deformability and stability. Also, compactibility is affected by the characteristics of materials and the mix proportions; it becomes necessary to evolve a procedure for mix design of SCC. The paper...

Properties of Self-compacting Concrete – an Overview

Self-compacting concrete can be defined as the concrete which requires no vibrations and can flow around obstructions, encloses the reinforcement and fills up the formwork completely under its self weight. Over the last ten years, significant amount of work has been carried out on self-compacting concrete all over the world. In countries like Japan, Sweden, Thailand, UK etc., the knowledge of S...

Mix Proportioning of High Performance Self-Compacting Concrete using Response Surface Methodology

High performance self compacting concrete (HPSCC) is typically proportioned with mineral and chemical admixtures leading to relatively high material cost. Such cost can be tolerated in high value added applications specially when cost savings can be realized using HPSCC in terms of reduction in size of reinforced concrete members. Efforts are still needed to reduce material cost of HPSCC to gai...
