Exploring rheological properties of self-compacting concrete: mineral and chemical admixture impacts
摘要
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology in the construction industry due to its ability to flow freely and fill intricate formwork without the need for external vibration. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the rheological properties of SCC, focusing on factors such as cement type, aggregates, mineral admixtures, and chemical admixtures that influence its behavior. By analyzing the effects of these components on SCC rheology, this study aims to provide valuable insights for engineers and researchers to optimize SCC mix designs and enhance its performance in various construction applications. Additionally, recommendations for future research directions are proposed to further advance SCC technology and address the evolving needs of the construction industry.
