The development of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) has recently been one of the most important developments in the building
industry. The purpose of this concrete concept is to decrease the risk due to the human factor, to enable the economic efficiency,
more freedom to designers and constructors and more human work. It is a kind of concrete that can flow through and fill gaps of
reinforcement and corners of moulds without any need for vibrations and compacting during the pouring process. Because of that,
SCC must have sufficient paste volume and proper paste reology. Paste volumes are usually higher than for conventionally placed
concrete and typically consist of high powder contents and water-powder ratios
