A Self Compacting concrete is highly workable concrete that can flow through densely reinforced and complex structural elements under its own weight and adequately fill all voids without segregation, excessive bleeding, excessive air migration or other separation of materials & without the need for vibration or other mechanical consolidation.
- Columns having congested reinforcement
- Deep beams
- Heavily reinforced slabs and foundations
- Complex shapes
- Water tanks
- Retaining walls
Many different properties of the fresh and hardened concrete can be effectively influenced by adding fibers. There are innumerable different types of fiber with different material characteristics and shapes.
- Industrial flooring
- Sprayed concrete
- Fire resistant structures
- To improve the durability of the structure
- To increase the tensile and flexural strength
- To obtain resistance to later cracking
- To improve crack distribution
- To reduce shrinkage in the early age concrete
- Increase Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
- To influence the workability
