Abstract:Concrete is one of the most produced and utilized materials in the world. Due to
the labor intensive and time consuming nature of concrete construction, new and
innovative concrete mixes are being explored. Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is one
such method of improving the overall cost and time efficiency of concrete production.
SCC is a highly flowable form of concrete. This characteristic drastically reduces the
amount of labor and time needed to place the concrete. The highly flowable nature also
allows for much easier placement in applications of highly congested reinforcement.
In order to test this new and innovative concrete mix, SCC was tested for both
hardened material properties and durability in this investigation. The results indicated that
SCC was superior to the baseline conventional concrete.
