BACKGROUND
SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE (SCC)
• Relatively new type of
concrete
• Developed in Japan in 1988
• Highly workable concrete for
dense reinforcements
• Avoidance of vibration
BACKGROUND
SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE (SCC)
Self-compactability is achieved by
the following:
• Limited aggregate content
• Low water-powder ratios
• Use of Superplasticizers
• Thus, concrete need fillers/SCMs
more than cement alone as powder
