Design of Self Compacting Concrete for Durability of Prescriptive vs. Performance-Based Specifications

摘要: Self-compacting concrete (SCC)'s development offers highly interesting evolution of construction, in turn leading to an improvement the quality finished structures and increased productivity. A key factor achieving suitable self-compactibility properties is a better understanding rheological mortar its fresh state. moderately-viscous paste prevents blocking segregation, while fluid eliminates need for external compaction. Other than clear advantages SCC state, there experimental evidence some hardened state as well, when compared conventional same strength class. This paper aimed at showing results achieved, related durability this type high performance concrete.
