Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, yet
stable concrete that can spread readily into place, fill the formwork, and
encapsulate the reinforcement without any mechanical consolidation and without
undergoing any significant separation of material constituents. SCC has many
advantages over conventional concrete, such as: eliminating the need for
vibration; decreasing the construction time and labor cost; reducing noise
pollution; improving the filling capacity of highly congested structural
members; improving the interfacial transitional zone between cement paste and
aggregate or reinforcement; decreasing the permeability and improving durability
of concrete; and facilitating constructibility and ensuring good structural
performance.
SCC has been attracting more and more attention worldwide since its
introduction in the late 1980s. New applications for SCC are being explored.
To promote and encourage the use of SCC, ACI Committee 236,
Material Science of Concrete, and ACI Committee 237, Self-Consolidating
Concrete, organized two technical sessions on Workability of SCC: Roles of
Its Constituents and Measurement Techniques at the ACI Spring 2005 Convention
in New York City. Eleven papers were presented covering a wide range
of practical case studies and research projects on the design, testing,
placement, and performance of SCC. This Special Publication (SP) contains 10 of
the papers presented at the sessions. Six of the papers deal with the mixture
proportions and the effects of raw materials on workability; two of them deal
with the rheometer testing of SCC; one deals with form pressure; and one deals
with the structural response of SCC frames under earthquake loading.
