Steel–concrete bond strength of lightweight self-consolidating concrete

Materials and Structures, 2008
The bond behavior of lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) must be understood in order to use this type of high performance concrete in structural members. The objective of this research program is to assess the bond behavior of reinforcing steel bars embedded in LWSCC members. Three different classes of LWSCC mixtures were developed with two

Creep of Prestressed Self-Consolidating Concrete

ACI Materials Journal, 2011
This paper will discuss how time-dependent deformations caused by creep lead to the loss of prestressing force and changes in camber in the design of structural members. An experimental program was performed to evaluate the creep of prestressed self-consolidating concrete (SCC). A total of 16 SCC mixtures with a slump flow of 680 ± 20 mm (26.7 ± 0.8 in.

Future research needs in self-consolidating concrete

Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials, 2014
The development of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) had revolutionized construction by its ability to achieve full compaction without mechanical vibration and consistency of quality. Use of SCC results in significant reduction in construction time, cost, and noise.

Testing dynamic segregation of self-consolidating concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2015
Abstract Segregation is a common problem in self-consolidating concrete, which often uses a high dosage of high-range water-reducing admixture to achieve high flow and passing ability. Dynamic segregation, when the aggregate lags behind in flowing concrete, may be distinguished from static segregation, when the aggregate sinks in concrete at rest. In

Chapter 56: Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC)

2006
SELF-CONSOLIDATING CONCRETE (SCC) IS BEING discussed in this technical publication for the first time. Being a relatively new material, the industry as well as the scientific community is still learning. Therefore, this document presents a condensed state-of-the-art description that, in time, will need further updating.

Tensile Strength of Green Self-Consolidating Concrete

Key Engineering Materials, 2018
The environmental footprint of the construction industry in general must be reduced. The process of manufacturing cement involves the release of appreciable amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. This paper summarizes the findings of an experimental study aiming at assessing the splitting tensile strength of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in which 90 ...

Passing Ability Tester for Self-Consolidating Concrete

Journal of ASTM International, 2006
Abstract Passing ability is one of the most important workability properties of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and self-consolidating fiber reinforced concrete (SCFRC). The popular J-ring apparatus which measures the passing ability indirectly in terms of the difference in drop levels or the unrestricted and restricted slump flow of ...

Lightweight self consolidating fiber reinforced concrete

2013
The object of this research was to determine the effects steel and polypropylene fibers have on the fresh and mechanical properties of a lightweight self consolidating concrete (LWSCC). Secondary objectives were to determine which of the two chosen fibers yield superior results, and to determine approximate optimal fiber content by volume. A LWSCC mix
