Self-Compacting Concrete Originally developed in Japan, SCC technology was made possible by the much earlier development of Superplasticisers for concrete. To compare the performance of SCC with Fly Ash 20%, Silica Fume 10%, Rice Husk Ash (5%, 10%, and 15%) as a partial replacement of cement, due to the high increase in construction which has brought a heavy demand for ingredients of concrete s...

self compacting concrete (scc) specimens with limestone (l) and quartz (q) powders were formulated. the influence of the type of the powder on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete was evaluated. dense packing theories were used for mix design of samples. the equation of fuller and thompson for particle size distribution (psd) of aggregates was modified with considering fine particles a...

The addition of steel fibers into concrete improves the postcracking tensile strength of hardened concrete and hence significantly enhances the shear strength of reinforced concrete reinforced concrete beams. However, developing an accurate model for predicting the shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams is a challenging task as there are several parameters such as the co...
