... 1 Self-Consolidating Concrete for Cast-in-Place Bridge Components Research Significance Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a specially proportioned hydraulic cement concrete that enables fresh concrete to flow easily into the forms and around steel reinforcement without segregation and without any mechanical consolidation.
From page 2...
... 2components (e.g., girders, stringers, floor beams, arches, diaphragms, connections, closure pours, rails, and concrete filled tubes) but not for other bridge components (e.g., deep foundations, drilled shafts, bridge decks, and approach slabs)
From page 3...
... 3 box girder) using four ready-mixed SCC mixtures to simulate field applications.
From page 4...
... 4• Drying shrinkage of SCC was significantly higher than predicted by AASHTO LRFD for CVC. The type of SCM had a significant effect on drying shrinkage (e.g., SCC containing Class C fly ash or GGBFS exhibited higher drying shrinkage than SCC containing Class F fly ash)
