Abstract

Self-compacting concrete has to be very flowable for practical use, while ensuring a high stability without any significant segregation, in order to ensure the material's desired properties uniform throughout the cross-section. However, the fresh concrete's mixture stability has proven to be its most sensitive property. Investigations concerning the mixture stability were conducted for this reason. Therefore the so called cylinder-segregation test has been developed. This test shows the segregation very exactly and quantifiably with a direct measurand. It provides the opportunity for a systematic research into segregation behaviour of SCC.
