Abstract

Self-compacting concrete is a highly flow able form of concrete that spreads into the form without the necessity for mechanical vibration. Self-compacting concrete is a non-segregating concrete that is positioned by means of its own weight. The importance of self-compacting concrete is that maintains all concrete’s durability and characteristics, meeting estimated performance requirements. In certain cases the addition of super plasticizers and viscosity modifier are added to the mix, reducing bleeding and segregation. Concrete that separates loses strength and results in honeycombed parts next to the formwork. A well designed Self compacting concrete mix does not separate, it has high deformability and superb stability characteristics.
