Abstract
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a high-performance concrete that flows under its own weight, allowing the filling of forms with crowded reinforcing without the need for mechanical vibration during installation. A High Performance Concrete element is one that is intended to provide optimal performance characteristics for a specific set of load, use, and exposure circumstances, in accordance with cost, service life, and durability requirements. The use of additives and the use of a low water-to-binder ratio may enhance the performance of SCC. Utilizing mineral admixtures such as Ground Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS), Fly Ash (FA), and Silica Fume (SF) in conjunction with chemical admixtures such as Superplasticizers (SP) and Viscous Modifying Agent (VMA) may considerably increase the performance of SCC.
