This project adapted the self-compacting concrete technology for the U.S. market using domestic concrete materials and practice for use in highway structures. The experimental work focused on designing self-compacting concrete mix formulations with desired workability, segregation resistance, and deformability as well as testing for standard mechanical properties of the hardened concrete. Following a literature review, materials and equipment were selected and laboratory tests were performed to determine formulations that satisfied the filling and passing requirements for self-compacted concrete. All selected formulations contained fly ash and a superplasticizer. |
