SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

INTRODUCTION DEVELOPMENT OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE


Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC),
which flows under its own weight
and does not require any external
vibration for compaction, has
revolutionized concrete placement.

AIM
The objective of the study is to
clarify the role of rational mix
design method and self
compactability testing methods Self-compacting concrete development must
ensure a good balance between deformability
and stability. Also, compactibility is affected by
the characteristics of materials and the mix
proportions; it becomes necessary to evolve a
procedure for mix design of SCC.
MECHANISM FOR ACHIEVING SELF SELF-COMPACTABILITY TESTS ON TRIAL
COMPACTABILITY MIXES
•Slump Flow Test
•V-Funnel Test
•U-Box Test
FACTORS OF SELF COMPACTABILITY IN TERMS OF TESTING RESULTS

Influence of coarse aggregate Role of mortar as solid particles


depending on spacing size

Role of mortar as fluid in


flowability of fresh concrete
ACCEPTANCE TEST AT JOB SITE APPLICATIONS OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE
The testing apparatus is installed between the Reason for employment of self compacting concrete
agitator truck and the pump at the job site. The whole
amount of concrete is poured into the apparatus.
If the concrete flows through apparatus it is
considered as self compactable. If it is stopped by
apparatus, considered as having insufficient
compactability and mix proportion is adjusted. Other applications of self-compacting concrete are
•Bridge (anchorage, arch, beam, girder, tower, pier,
joint between beam & girder)
•Box culvert
•Building
•Concrete filled steel column
•Tunnel (lining, immersed tunnel, fill of survey tunnel)
•Dam (concrete around structure)
•Concrete products (block, culvert, wall, water tank,
slab, and segment)
•Diaphragm wall
•Tank (side wall, joint between side wall and slab)
•Pipe roof

MERITS OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE CONCLUSION
By using SCC there will be a large payoff in
not requiring vibration to achieve consolidation,
and the low noise level to meet stringent
environmental requirements in urban and
suburban construction sites. Less labor and
speedier construction will result in substantial
cost savings, less traffic disruption and risk
reduction. Better durability and high strength
will allow the engineers to design and build
bridges to last a century and beyond. When
self-compacting concrete becomes so widely
used that it will be seen as the “standard
concrete” rather than as a “special concrete,”
we will have succeeded in creating durable
and reliable concrete structures requiring very
little maintenance work.
