TLDR
In this article, a rational mix-design method and self-compactability testing methods have been carried out from the viewpoint of making it a standard concrete, and recommendations and manuals for selfcompacting concrete were also established.Abstract:
Self-compacting concrete was first developed in 1988 in order to achieve durable concrete structures. Since then, various investigations have been carried out and the concrete has been used in practical structures in Japan, mainly by large construction companies. Investigations for establishing a rational mix-design method and self-compactability testing methods have been carried out from the viewpoint of making it a standard concrete. Recommendations and manuals for self-compacting concrete were also established.read more

Self-Compacting Concrete: Theoretical and Experimental Study
Hjh (Jos) Jos Brouwers,HJ Radix +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, experiments and theories on self-compacting concrete are discussed, where the packing behavior of the powders (cement, fly ash, stone powder) and aggregates (three sands and gravel) used are analyzed in detail.

The effect of silica fume and high-volume Class C fly ash on mechanical properties, chloride penetration and freeze-thaw resistance of self-compacting concrete
TL;DR: In this article, a self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixture was replaced with a Class C fly ash (FA) in various proportions from 30% to 60% and the results showed that 10% silica fume (SF) added to the mixture positively affected both fresh and hardened properties of high-performance high-volume FA SCC.

Effect of water/cement ratio on the fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete
TL;DR: In this article, five mixtures with different combinations of water/cement ratio and superplasticizer dosage levels were investigated, and several tests such as slump flow, V-funnel, L-box were carried out to determine optimum parameters for the self-compactibility of mixtures.

Mechanical and dynamic properties of self-compacting crumb rubber modified concrete
Khalid B. Najim,Matthew R. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical and dynamic properties of self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC) were experimentally investigated, where crumb rubber from scrap tyres was used as a partial replacement for Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate (CA), and combined Fine and Coarse aggregate (FCA) at 5, 10, and 15-wt% proportions.

Performance of self-compacting concrete containing fly ash
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of fly ash (FA) on the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is investigated and the results indicate that high volume FA can be used in SCC to produce high strength and low shrinkage.
