Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that fills uniformly and completely every corner of formwork by its own weight and encapsulate reinforcement without any vibration, whilst maintaining homogeneity. A concrete mix can only be classified as self-compacting ...
