Preparation and Application of High Dropping Non Vibration Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract

High dropping non vibration concrete is widely used in high-rise steel tube concrete construction. In this paper, a high dropping non vibration self-compacting concrete with high mobility, low slump loss, and good anti-segregation ability is developed by mixing addition of PCA superplasticizer and SCC composite expansive admixture. The test results showed that the admixture and cement used in the test possess sound compatibility. The slump flow of self-compacting concrete prepared are more than 660mm, T500 of 2.8~7.5s, 1h slump flow loss of less than 10%, and the segregation rate of less than 7.5%. Through strictly control production and dropping construction, supplemented by field ultrasonic detection measures, the high dropping self-compacting concrete in steel tube achieved successful application for a high-rise building.
