Experimental Analysis of Filler Slab Using Self-Compacting Concrete
Abstract: Present-day self-compacting concrete is classified as an advanced construction material. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It can flow under its weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. The hardened concrete is dense, homogeneous and has the same engineering properties and durability as traditional vibrated concrete. An important improvement of health and …
