ABSTRACT
Abstract Recent developments in high performance concrete have included self-compacting concrete, that is concrete which, without segregation, can flow into place and compact under its own weight. Published examples o f uses, mix designs and testing programmes are reviewed and important features highlighted. The initial results o f an experimental programme aimed at producing and evaluating self-compacting concrete made from readily available UK materials are presented and discussed. This includes evaluating the rheology using a two-point workability apparatus. Keywords: High performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, literature review, mix design, rheology, two-point workability testing.
