Piles
and columns with dense rebar cages (SCC was developed to
alleviate the need to
vibrate concrete in structures containing dense rebar); and
¶
High-strength
piles and columns (The generally higher fines content of
SCC mixes lends itself
to high strength concrete. Concrete strengths in excess of 8,000 psi
are
regularly achieved).
The
use of SCC concrete has been increasing in the United States
also during the last
5 years. Currently the technology is being primarily applied to the
precast
industry. Other segments being targeted are flatwork, columns and wall
construction.
The
applications of SCC are many, limited only by the industry's knowledge
of it,
ability to produce it and acceptance of it.
