The researchers’ primary objective was to evaluate the early-strength characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC), which is a type of concrete that can be placed without external vibration, even in congested areas. Two unique characteristics of SCC are its high-percentage substitution of cement with fly ash or slag cement, or with both fly ash and slag cement and a relatively high superplasticizer dosage. Both of these characteristics retard early-strength gain. The impetus was to develop self-compacting concrete with an early strength suitable for precast applications. The major findings are that it is possible to proportion SCC mixtures with high early strength (30 MPa at 16 h under steam curing) and that high slump does not necessarily correlate with self-compaction.
