SCC Definition - PCI

A highly workable concrete that can flow

through densely reinforced or complex

structural elements under its own weight

and adequately fill voids without

segregation or excessive bleeding without

the need for vibration.

Interim Guideline for the use of Self-Consolidating

Concrete in the Precast/Prestressed Concrete

Institute member plants, TR-6-03, Precast/

Prestressed Concrete Institute.

SCC Definition - ACI

Highly flowable, non-segregating concrete

that can spread into place, fill the formwork,

and encapsulate the reinforcement without

any mechanical consolidation.

ACI International, Committee 237 Self-Consolidating

Concrete, July 2003

SCC Definition – ASTM

Concrete that can flow around reinforcement

and consolidate under its own weight without

additional effort and without exceeding

specified limits of segregation.

ASTM C125-06A Terminology

Innovation = Profitability?

• The business of technology

• What is your customer base?

• What is your market base?

• How to apply technology?

• Where are profits from

technology?



Changes in Methods = Profitability?

• Versatile concrete placement

– Concrete flows into hard-to-reach places

• Earlier job completion – increased productivity?

• Reduce/eliminate vibration process

• Reduce concrete pumping time

– Minimize work/labor effort – less errors?

– Improve safety – lowers accident potential?

• More efficient use of labor resources

• Improve/optimize surface appearances

Seminar Overview



• SCC Technology



• Market Impact

• Getting Started

SCC Technology

• Technology vs. Concrete

• SCC Materials

• Admixture Chemistry

• Aggregate Gradation

• Cement and Pozzolans

• Precast Mix Proportioning

• Ready-Mix Proportioning



SCC Technology vs. SCC Concrete

• Workability cannot be measured under

current standards (until now…)

• No new engineering properties

• Concrete does not remember…

• Not a new concrete, despite of

marketing efforts!

When is Concrete SCC?

SCC

SCC Material Proportioning

• Normal to higher cement

factors

• Pozzolanic replacement

• Potentially lower coarse

aggregate volumes

• Polycarboxylate-based

superplasticizer

• Viscosity-modifying

admixture



Admixture Chemistry

• Electrostatic Repulsion

– Electrical attachment to cement

– Grains repel each other

• Steric Hindrance

– Size of molecule prevents contact

– Admixture reacts longer

Aggregate Gradation

• Aggregate grading vs. particle

packing

• Lots of models to choose from

• Make grading work for you

– Smooth grading = less paste

– Coarse/Gap grading = more paste

• Aggregate shape/texture

• Aggregates must move with paste

through forms and reinforcement

Why Develop a Model?

• Profitable for the Producer

– Maintain current margin

• More Profits for Contractor

– No incentive to change if profits

are “just as good”

• Decrease Cost for Owner

• Do Not Recreate the Wheel

– Fast financial assessment

– Scalable for size and scope

QC/QA for Precast

• Placement Technique

– Use delivery energy

– Pour in one direction

• Tight and Level Forms

• Batching Speed =

Placement Speed

• Large Discharge =

Enhanced Flowing



QC/QA for Ready-Mix

• Minimal Production Changes

– Margin for error is smaller

– Small differences

= big Impact

• Lab/Test Program

• Batching Elements

– Aggregate moisture

– Initial water slump

– Plant or site addition

– Load size

Seminar Overview



• SCC Technology



• Market Impact

• Getting Started

Getting Started – Action Plan

• Questions for the way home:

– How does my company

approach technology?

– Do we have customers

(internal/external) who

understand cost vs. price?

– Can we sell those customers

(internal/external)?

– Who will champion/implement?

– Can I protect my technology/investment?

Getting Started – Action Plan

• Questions once you get home:

– Can I actually make SCC in

the lab? In a plant/truck?

– Who will help?

– What production changes

are necessary?

– What metric will I use to prove

the value?

– Which internal/external

customers will I use for trial?

– How will the market react?
