TLDR
In this article, a self-compact concrete is defined as follows at the three stages of concrete: (1) Fresh: selfcompactable; (2) Early age: avoidance of initial defects; (3) After hardening: protection against external factors.Abstract:
1. Characteristics Self-compacting high-performance concrete is a high performance concrete that can be compacted into every corner of a formwork, purely by means of its own weight and without the need for vibrating compaction (Fig. 1). This concrete is defined as follows at the three stages of concrete: (1) Fresh: selfcompactable; (2) Early age: avoidance of initial defects; (3) After hardening: protection against external factors.read more
