The effects of Visual Stability Index (VSI) on fresh and hardened properties of Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC) under accelerated curing condition
Self-consolidating concrete, also known as self-compacting concrete (SCC), is a highly flowable concrete that spreads into place and fills formwork without the need for mechanical vibration. SCC reduces the time and labor cost needed for concrete placement. This study is part of the proposed …
