Self-consolidating concrete: now and future

Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) has transformed the way that concrete construction is performed throughout the world. The fact that SCC changed the way that concrete is processed places it on the cutting edge of technological and scientific developments. While SCC may no longer be considered a “new concrete”, there are still significant challenges to overcome before there is a broader of SCC in both cast-in-place and precast industry. This paper will present some current research on the rheological characterization SCC, as well as highlight some of the more pressing issues that still must be addressed before SCC can be fully utilized.
