SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

Self-compacting concrete opens up new potential beyond conventional concrete applications:

Use with close meshed reinforcement
For complex geometric shapes
For slender components
Generally where compaction of the concrete is difficult
For specifications requiring a homogeneous concrete structure
For fast installation rates
To reduce noise (eliminate or reduce vibration)

SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

ASelf 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.

SSC concrete is used for:

Columns having congested reinforcement

Deep beams

Heavily reinforced slabs and foundations

Complex shapes

Water tanks

Retaining walls

Self Compacting concrete:

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

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.

Fiber reinforced concrete is used for

Industrial flooring
Sprayed concrete
Fire resistant structures

Properties of fiber reinforced concretes

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
