Time dependent equations for the compressive strength of self-consolidating concrete through statistical rnoptimization

K. M. A. Hossain and M. Lachemi

Abstract

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in the fresh state is known for its excellent deformability, high resistance to segregation, and use, without applying vibration, in congested reinforced concrete structures characterized by difficult casting conditions. Such a concrete can be obtained by incorporating either mineral or chemical admixtures. This paper presents the results of an investigation to asses the applicability of Abram

Key Words

self-consolidating concrete; compressive strength equation; statistical optimization.
