Properties of Normal Concrete, Self-compacting Concrete and Glass Fibre-reinforced Self-compacting Concrete: An Experimental Study

Self-compacting Concrete (scc)

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...

hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete: hardened properties

in most cases, fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (frscc) contains only one type of fiber. the use of two or more types of fibers in a suitable combination may potentially not only improve the overal properties of self-compacting concrete, but may also result in performance synergie. the combining of fibers, often called hybridization, is investigated in this paper for a cimentetious mat...

Ultra High Performance Self Compacting Concrete

Experiences in the development of Ultra High Performance Concrete found a very high flowability in concrete with low water powder ratio. Because of the high viscosity of the cement paste, compaction was necessary. To improve the compaction characteristics of the concrete the idea of adding coarse aggregate was developed. The first tests showed a good workability of the fresh concrete and a good...
