The basic characteristic of the self compacting concrete is the increased fluidity, a characteristic that facilitates the spreading and the compaction of the material without any intervention of the human factor.
With the self compacting concrete, it is ensured the non segregation of the materials, a fact that is achieved with the suitable choice of aggregates, the use of fines and also the use of special admixtures.
The self compacting concrete has low W/C ratio and high durability and is recommended for the buildings with dense reinforcement as the modern antiseismic constructions.
The self compacting concrete, that was first used in Japan during the past decade and was expanded throughout the world, changes what was known until now in the building sector as it contributes to:
- A more rapid application
- Higher efficiency
- Reduction of the cost of application
- Improvement of the working conditions
- Reduction of the environmental harmful effects
