It is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that can spread into place, fill the formwork, and encapsulate the reinforcement without any mechanical consolidation, improving the overall efficiency of a concrete construction project. SCC mixtures are highly fluid, yet their flowing properties can be adapted for a range of applications and allow practitioners to select and determine levels of filling ability, passing ability, and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Consolidating Concrete: Applying What We Know\u003c\/strong\u003e discusses all aspects of SCC, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBenefits and limitations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRaw material components \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMixture proportions \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduction and quality control \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlacement and curing \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting a basis for consistently producing and applying SCC in a regular production environment, this book is written from the perspective of the concrete practitioner.
