A data base for self-compacting concrete in Iraq

Abstract EN

Self-Compacting Concrete is considered one of most remarkable developments in concrete technology.

It is a new type of high performance concrete with the ability of flowing under its own weight and without the need of vibrations.

Recently, a great native interest had been derived towards self-compacting concrete.

This work aims to present a summary study about properties of fresh selfcompacting concrete depending on the results obtained by some native researches, thus focusing on the main common features between their results.

It had been focused on the effect of type and proportions of constituent materials incorporated in producing selfcompacting concrete.

This considered the most influential factors in controlling its properties.
