The main criteria of producing SCC have to satisfy the following characteristics [1, 2, 3]： （1） Ability to flow into and completely fill complex forms under its own weight; （2） Ability to pass through and bond to congested reinforcements; （3） High resistance to aggregate segregation. Self-compacting concrete presents a significant sign in improving the product quality and efficiency of the building industry. It also enhances the working conditions and the quality and appearance of concrete. Japan has been used self-compacting concrete in bridge, building and tunnel construction since the early 1990s. In the last decade, SCC has been produced a high potential for greater acceptance and wider applications in highway bridge construction in the Europe and U.S.. However, till now, there is no application of SCC in the construction industry in Egypt. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to produce SCC by using the locally available materials in our region such as basalt, gravel, sand, limestone powder and silica fume. Experimental programme was designed to characterize the properties of fresh and hardened SCC. It comprises different concrete mixes thbricated with different types and percentages of constituent materials. Three full-scale reinforced concrete beams were fabricated from the SCC mixes and tested under flexure. For the purpose of comparison, an extra RC beam was made of conventional normal concrete to serve as a reference beam. This study, in general, demonstrated that the applications of SCC in construction industry oiler products with enhanced characteristics as well as could be economical.展开更多

High durability on the perspective of improvement and become, use a lot of high quality raw materials and modern technology, is the main development direction of concrete. Because its comprehensive performance by the superiority of the focus of the society, the strict construction technology in the extensive application in the highway bridge, high performance can the use of concrete can improve the efficiency of its safety and avoid unnecessary accidents展开更多
