Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a complex method of creating concrete that is usually proportioned with one or more mineral admixtures and chemical admixtures. Including the correct selection of aggregate, its size, gradation and content; together with any adjustments in the rhelogy and viscoelasticity of the resultant paste, which allows us to produce a high quality concrete suitable for use as SCC. For the successful design of any Self Compacting Concrete mix it is essential to promote a high level of quality control, a greater awareness of aggregate gradation, and to use more control over the mix water and the use of any advanced high range water reducing admixtures and viscosity enhancers, whilst also having a clearer understanding of the role of the various constituents in the mix, and their ultimate effects on the fresh and hardened properties of the SCC. Within this experimental investigation, this paper describes the main concentration of the experiment which was to focus on the use of non destructive test methods, such as Pulse Velocity, in order to distinguish the behaviour of self compacting concrete and glass fibre self compacting concrete mixes.
