Special Concretes: Self-Compacting Concrete - Segregation and Laboratory Tests

Explore the concept of self compacting concrete (SCC) in this 19-minute lecture, covering its fresh-state and hardened-state properties. Learn about design requirements for ensuring SCC flowability, applications, and construction challenges. Understand potential issues like plastic shrinkage and segregation in SCC construction. Discover various laboratory tests used to evaluate SCC mixes for flowability, passing ability, and segregation potential.
