HIGH PERFORMANCE SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE: A REVIEW
Keywords:
High performance self-compacting concrete, workability requirement, mechanical properties, durabilityAbstract
High performance self-compacting is a sub division of special concrete that required special dispatch, implementation and conformity which cannot be possible unless with addition of some material such as chemical and mineral admixture as well as excellent mix design which may be due to the availability of materials in the nation, it also required a better curing in order to take care of any endogenous behaviour. In this study, an extensive literature review has been conducted on the material characterization of self-compacting concrete and its potential for large scale field applicability, which may leads to achieve the rheological properties of concrete. Similarly, the paper highlights the current challenges regarding the implementation of self-compacting concrete in full scale structures. Also strives to assist engineers to better understand the unique characteristics and capabilities of SCC, such as high strength, high workability, durability, etc.
