Abstract

Originally developed to offset a growing shortage of skilled labour, Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has proved beneficial economically because of a number of factors, including: faster construction, reduction in site manpower, better surface finishes, easier placing, improved durability, greater freedom in design, thinner concrete sections, reduced noise levels, absence of vibration and safer working environment. SCC has been taken up across Europe, for both site and precast concrete work. The EFNARC Specification defines specific requirements for the SCC material, its composition and its application. The Annexes also include useful advice to designers, concrete manufacturers, contractors, specifying authorities and testing organisations.
