    Self Consolidating Concrete

    Self-consolidating concrete (SCC), also known as self-compacting concrete, was originally developed in Japan to address labor shortages. SCC flows into place without vibration due to its high fluidity created through adjustments to mix designs and use of superplasticizers. It fills formwork and encapsulates reinforcement on its own weight. SCC maintains concrete's mechanical and durability properties while providing benefits like faster construction, improved surfaces, safer working conditions, and design freedom.

    SCC??
     Originally developed in Japan, SCC technology was made possible
    by the much earlier development of Superplasticisers for concrete.
    SCC has now been taken up with enthusiasm across Europe, for
    both site and precast concrete work. The use of self-compacting
    concrete (SCC) is spreading world wide because of its very
    attractive properties in the fresh state as well as after hardening.
    Description
    • Self-consolidating concrete, also known as self-compacting concrete (SCC),
    is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills
    formwork, and encapsulates even the most congested reinforcement, all
    without any mechanical vibration.
    • It is defined as a concrete mix that can be placed purely by means of its
    own weight, with little or no vibration. As a high-performance concrete, SCC
    delivers these attractive benefits while maintaining all of concrete's
    customary mechanical and durability characteristics.
    • Adjustments to traditional mix designs and the use of superplasticizers
    creates flowing concrete that meets tough performance requirements. If
    needed, low dosages of viscosity modifier can eliminate unwanted bleeding
    and segregation.
     Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been described as "the most revolutionary
    development in concrete Construction for several decades". Originally
    developed to offset a growing shortage of skilled labour, it has proved
    beneficial economically because of a number of factors, including:

    • faster construction

    • reduction in site manpower

    • better surface finishes

    • easier placing

    • improved durability

    • greater freedom in design

    • thinner concrete sections

    • reduced noise levels, absence of vibration

    • safer working environment

    • Due to its low water-cement ratio, plastic shrinkage cracks
    may occur. But this can be avoided by curing properly.

    • As it is self-compacted there are no need to use any vibrator. • It is more costly than any other conventional concrete

    • Bleeding and segregation problems are almost nil.

    • It produces a smooth and well-finished surface at the end of


    concreting.
