prEN 206-9 Concrete - Part 9: Additional Rules for Self-compacting Concrete (SCC)
Introduction Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an evolving technology and practices vary. As far as possible this Standard sets common requirements, but where this is not possible the relevant clause contains permission for the application of national standards or provisions valid in the place of use of the concrete. This Standard will be applied in Europe under different climatic and geographical conditions, different levels of protection and under different, well established, regional traditions and experience. Classes for self-compacting concrete properties have been introduced to cover this situation. Where such general solutions were not possible, the relevant clauses contain permission for the application of national standards or provisions valid in the place of use of the concrete. In tables, notes and footnotes in this Standard are normative unless stated otherwise; other notes and footnotes are informative. Further explanations and guidance on the application of this Standard are given in other documents. Further guidance on the production and other aspects of SCC is given in The European Guidelines for Self-Compacting Concrete – Specification, Production and Use (May 2005). 1 Scope This European Standard applies to SCC for structures cast in situ, precast structures, and structural precast products for buildings and civil engineering structures. This Standard applies to SCC which is self-compacting by gravity to retain no appreciable amount of entrapped air other than entrained air. This Standard applies to normal-weight concrete. Experience with SCC containing light-weight or heavy-weight aggregate and fibres is limited. Some but not all provisions of this Standard will apply for these forms of SCC but the requirements have to be determined on a case by case basis. The SCC may be mixed on site, ready-mixed concrete or produced in a plant for precast concrete products. In addition to those in EN 206-1:2000, this Standard specifies requirements for:
the constituent materials of SCC;
the properties of fresh and hardened SCC and their verification;
the limitations for SCC composition;
the specification of SCC;
the factory production control procedures;
the conformity criteria. Other European Standards for specific products e.g. precast products or for processes within the field of the scope of this Standard may require or permit deviations from this standard. The limitations of scope in EN 206-1:2000 apply to SCC conforming to this Standard. This Standard does not cover health and safety requirements for the protection of workers during production and delivery of concrete.
Dear friends, if some of you possess the official version of this standard - EN 206-9:2010, please share it.
