Structural performance of self-compacting concrete

摘要: Abstract To save time and money, traditional construction methods to build concrete columns, beams, walls slabs using temporary formworks are being replaced by permanent in place formworks. One common material for such is PVC but other materials can also be used. At the same during of narrow walls, blade columns structural members with confined internal space, use self-consolidating (SCC) gaining momentum overcome possible defects arising from normal concrete. Such form honeycombs voids formed due congestions created vertical horizontal reinforcing bars, preventing fill entire work. The SCC, because its high flowability will alleviate potential problems. Numerical analyses were performed on Logicwall corresponding conventional column as well. Results indicated that ultimate failure both samples accompanied outward bulge middle height samples.
