Study on segregation and rheology of self compacting concrete

The objective of this research, entitled 'Study on Segregation Resistance and Rheology of Self Compacting Concrete', was to investigate the static and dynamic segregation resistance of SCC and to also study the rheological characteristics of SCC which play an important role in segregation and flowability, attributes that define the robustness of SCC.;A review of theoretical models that provide a basis of understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of static and dynamic segregation of SCC and rheology of SCC is carried out. A series of experiments are conducted using different SCC mixes to obtain the critical range of rheological parameters of yield stress and viscosity where segregation is minimized, yet the material retains its fluidity.
