Synopsis

Self-compacting concrete is used when compaction of concrete is difficult to execute. To use a type of concrete, which does not need conventional curing, self-curing concrete can be used. The combination of those two types together provides a suitable solution for the curing and compacting processes. In certain instances the addition of superplasticizers and viscosity modifiers are added to the mix, reducing bleeding and segregation. Concrete that segregates loses strength and results in honeycombed areas next to the formwork. A well-designed SCC mix does not segregate, It has high deformability and excellent stability characteristics. The study analyses the steel fiber at its fresh condition as well as its mechanical properties at the hardened condition.
