What does SCC mean in concrete?

Self-Consolidating Concrete
Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is a highly fluid mixture designed to flow and consolidate under its own weight. The mixture is very cohesive and is capable of filling all types of spaces without segregation or bleeding.

What is SCC mix design?

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement.

What is SCC in civil engineering?

Self compacting concrete (SCC) can be defined as fresh concrete that flows under its own weight and does not require external vibration to undergo compaction. It is used in the construction where it is hard to use vibrators for consolidation of concrete.

How is SCC made?

Admixtures for concrete Self-compacting concretes (SCC) are made with superplasticisers and viscosity modifying admixtures (VMAs). See Fig. 22.7 which shows that, together, they increase the plastic viscosity and reduce the yield. This will give a very high, but slow, slump.

How far will flowable fill flow?

The higher the water content, the more flowable the mix. Flowability can be measured by one of several different methods, including slump and flow cone tests. The normal slump range for flowable fill mixtures is 150 to 250 mm (6 to 10 in).

Is Code A SCC?

This paper deals with the Mix design of Self-Compacting concrete. The highlight of this paper is, simplest process of Mix design according to Indian Standard Code of Mix design (IS-10262) and It follows all the design conditions in line with Indian Standard Code of Reinforced Concrete Structure (IS:456).

What is advantage of SCC?

Advantages of Self-Compacting Concrete Improved constructability. Reduces permeability in concrete structures. Minimizes voids in highly-reinforced areas. Eliminates problems associated with concrete vibration.
