Self Compacting Concrete: A Boon For The Building Industry

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:56:08 PST

Self compacting is nothing but a concrete mix with a high flow which spreads into the formwork without any requirement for vibration. The fluidity is attributed to the inclusion of super plasticizers to the concrete mix instead of increased water content that would detract from the concrete strength. Producers of concrete often are placed in a position to retrain their "eyes" as far as assessing the proper viscosity of the self compacting concrete is concerned. Though it requires no vibration owing to its intrinsically fluid nature compared to regular concrete mixes, it can still percolate around and into a tangled reinforcement too. No compaction is required and it settles under its own weight. Nevertheless, even the most stringent requisites are met by self compacting concrete.

Self-Compacting Concrete Applications

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:39:06 PST

The use of self compacting concrete has been encountering a gradual increase ever since a prototype of the concrete developed in the year 1988. Some of the main reasons for employing self compacting concrete are: 1. To minimize the period of construction. 2. To ensure structure compaction, particularly when vibrating compaction is tough in confined zones. 3. To eliminate noise produced due to vibration; this can be particularly effective in concrete product plants. This just goes to imply that the present state of self compacting concrete is indeed a special one rather than the standard concrete.
