The high workability and non-segregating nature of self-compacting concrete (SCC) offer a valuable solution for accelerating the placement rate and reducing the labour demand needed for vibration and surface finishing. While some of the fresh properties of SCC may differ significantly from those of conventional vibrated concrete (VC), the engineering properties of SCC are fairly similar to that of VC. However, some researchers have observed a distinct difference between the two types of concrete in engineering properties such as shear and bond strength [1, 2, 3, 4]. This difference is especially evident when the proportions of coarse aggregate (size and shape) or paste content of SCC mixtures are different from those of VC. However, in applications where those engineering properties are of special consideration for designers and/or engineers, the same test methods and procedures applied for VC should be used to verify that the desired SCC performance is achieved.

Abstract
The high workability and non-segregating nature of self-compacting concrete (SCC) offer a valuable solution for accelerating the placement rate and reducing the labour demand needed for vibration and surface finishing. While some of the fresh properties of SCC may differ significantly from those of conventional vibrated concrete (VC), the engineering properties of SCC are fairly similar to that of VC. However, some researchers have observed a distinct difference between the two types of concrete in engineering properties such as shear and bond strength [1, 2, 3, 4]. This difference is especially evident when the proportions of coarse aggregate (size and shape) or paste content of SCC mixtures are different from those of VC. However, in applications where those engineering properties are of special consideration for designers and/or engineers, the same test methods and procedures applied for VC should be used to verify that the desired SCC performance is achieved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
