Abstract text:
Self compacting concrete (SCC) was presented by Japanese prof. Okamura in 1986 and is characterized worldwide as one of the most significant development steps in concrete materials technology. This new mixture was created to improve the quality and durability of concrete structures, achieving full compaction under its own weight without vibration. Its high fluidity provides new possibility to create complicate structural and architectural shapes. Since its discovery, SCC was seen as special material, only applicable for one of the occasions, which has yet to be fully accepted. Its sensibility with respect to variations of quality and of moisture of constituent materials demands more vigilance than for conventional concrete. The use of SCC in precast concrete plants has grown considerable, some of them are using it solely, but the introduction in-situ application was slower. Only a limited number of published papers described SCC on-site applications, the largest part of research to date has focused on mechanical and rheological performance properties.
