Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) Structural Investigation
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a relatively new approach to making concrete and is characterized by its high flowability and resistance to aggregate segregation in the plastic state. SCC has become a popular alternative for commercial precast elements in Florida. In response to producer's requests to use SCC, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) initiated a study in which full-scale precast, pretensioned AASHTO Type II beams were constructed and tested. SCC trail mix designs were developed in conjunction with the participating precast producer. These trial mixes included extensive plastic property testing of the SCC trial mixes. Three beams were constructed using SCC, and three using a conventional FDOT approved mix. The major tasks included performing plastic and hardened property tests, constructing SCC beams with vibrating, determining the prestress transfer length, monitoring the camber, and finally testing the beams in such a manner as to produce flexure and shear dominated failure modes.
