SELF COMPACTING CONRETE

Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is a rapidly developing research area with literally hundreds of published papers. This technical bulletin provides a “primer” on SCC. It is not an all-encompassing document but is an introduction to the subject providing general information.

What is SCC?
Self-Consolidating Concrete has properties that differ considerably from conventional slump concrete. SCC is highly workable concrete that can flow through densely reinforced and complex structural elements under its own weight and adequately fill all voids without segregation, excessive bleeding, excessive air migration (air-popping), or other separation of materials, and without the need for vibration or other mechanical consolidation.
