A Data Base for Self-Compacting Concrete in Iraq

Abstract

Self-Compacting Concrete is considered one of most remarkable developments inconcrete technology. It is a new type of high performance concrete with the ability offlowing under its own weight and without the need of vibrations. Recently, a great nativeinterest had been derived towards self-compacting concrete.This work aims to present a summary study about properties of fresh selfcompactingconcrete depending on the results obtained by some native researches, thusfocusing on the main common features between their results. It had been focused on theeffect of type and proportions of constituent materials incorporated in producing selfcompactingconcrete. This considered the most influential factors in controlling itsproperties.
