"National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 819: Self Consolidating Concrete for Cast in Place Bridge Components presents recommended guidelines for the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in cast in place highway bridge components. These guidelines address the selection of constituent materials, proportioning of concrete mixtures, testing methods, fresh and hardened concrete properties, production and quality control issues, and other aspects of SCC. The report also presents proposed changes to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design and Construction Specifications to address use of SCC for cast in place highway bridge components. The information contained in the report will guide materials and bridge engineers in evaluating, selecting, and specifying SCC mixtures for use in cast in place concrete bridge components, thereby facilitating construction, improving the working environment and safety, and reducing cost."--Publisher's description

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.

This manual is intended to guide, assist, and instruct concrete inspectors and others engaged in concrete construction and testing, including field engineers, construction superintendents, supervisors, laboratory and field technicians, and workers. Designers may also find the manual to be a valuable reference by using the information to better adapt their designs to the realities of field construction. Because of the diverse possible uses of the manual and the varied backgrounds of the readers, it includes the reasoning behind the technical instructions. The field of concrete construction has expanded dramatically over the years to reflect the many advances that have taken place in the concrete industry. Although many of the fundamentals presented in previous editions of this manual remain relevant and technically correct, this eleventh edition incorporates new material to address these advances in technology
