Self-consolidating concrete applying what we know

"Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is an innovative material used successfully throughout the world. It is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that can spread into place, fill the formwork, and encapsulate the reinforcement without any mechanical consolidation, improving the overall efficiency of a concrete construction project. SCC mixtures are highly fluid, yet their flowing properties can be adapted for a range of applications and allow practitioners to select and determine levels of filling ability, passing ability, and stability. Presenting a basis for consistently producing and applying SCC in a regular production environment, this book is written from the perspective of the concrete practitioner. It uses descriptions and case studies throughout, as examples of specific types of applications, to identify where the practitioner needs to focus attention."--Back cover.

  • ""This book discusses all aspects of Self-consolidated Concrete including: its benefits and limitations raw material components mixture proportions production and quality control placement and curing. Presenting a basis for consistently producing and applying Self-consolidated Concrete in a regular production environment, this book is written from the perspective of the concrete practitioner. It uses descriptions and case studies throughout, as examples of specific types of applications, in order to examine Self-consolidated Concrete through the eyes of the user and identify where the practitioner needs to focus attention. This book bridges the gap between research and practice. It links the science with the practical application, describing a number of projects and types of application where Self-consolidated Concrete has been used successfully. It will be useful for both the new practitioner as well as for one who is already using Self-consolidated Concrete""
