reinforcement is high and the dimensions of the concrete sections are small, self-compacting concrete can be used as an effective
method for the construction.
Self- compacting concrete has a low yield stress, high distortion capacity, good resistance against segregation and tolerable viscosity.
When the SCC is poured, it is an extremely fluid mix hence it flows very easily within and around the formwork and it can flow
through hurdles and around corners. It mostly levels itself and does not require vibration after pouring and it follows the shape and
surface texture of a mold very closely once it is set.
Subsequently, pouring SCC is much less labor-demanding compared to standard concrete mixes. Once the SCC is poured, it is
usually similar to standard concrete in specification of its setting and curing time and strength. SCC uses a low proportion of water
to become fluid.
