This manual discusses quality control and testing procedures for SCC used in precast elements. It is intended for use by field inspectors responsible for pre-qualifying mixtures and assuring concrete quality. The information presented is of a general nature and may not be appropriate for all projects. The manual is written on the assumption that the reader already has basic background knowledge of general concrete material properties and construction practices. Chapter 2 provides basic background information on SCC. Guidelines for SCC quality control and quality assurance are presented in Chapter 3. SCC is a specialized material and requires specialized knowledge to evaluate it.

Self-Compacting Concrete: Materials, Properties and Applications presents the latest research on various aspects of self-compacting concrete, including test methods, rheology, strength and durability properties, SCC properties at elevated temperature, SC manufacturing with the use of SCMs, recycled aggregates and industrial by-products. Written by an international group of contributors who are closely associated with the development of self-compacting concrete, the book explores the main differences between SCC and normal concrete in terms of raw materials, fresh properties and hardened properties. Other topics discussed include the structure and practical applications of fiber reinforced SCC. Researchers and experienced engineers will find this reference to be a systematic source to SCC with its accounting of the latest breakthroughs in the field and discussions of SCC constructability, structural integrity, improved flows into complex forms, and superior strength and durability. Offers a systematic and comprehensive source of information on the latest developments in SCC technology Includes mix design procedures, tests standards, rheology, strength and durability properties Explores the properties and practical applications of SCC
