Interim Guidelines for the Use of Self-Consolidating Concrete in Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute Member Plants

These interim guidelines have been prepared in response to increasing use of and interest in Self- Consolidating Concrete (SCC) in the prestressed concrete industry throughout the United States. (Note: In current North American practice, the terms "Self-Compacting Concrete" and "Self-Consolidating Concrete" relate to the same material.) SCC is a highly workable concrete that can flow through densely reinforced or geometrically complex structural elements under its own weight and adequately fill voids without segregation or excessive bleeding without the need for vibration to consolidate it. The workability of SCC is higher than the highest class of workability associated with normal highperformance concrete typically used in precast/prestressed concrete fabrication plants. This workability can be characterized by the following properties.
