A New Method of Mix Design for Self-Consolidating Concrete Based on Compressive Strength

Self- consolidating concrete (SCC) mix design should consider the appropriate characteristics in terms of workability, rheology, strength and durability simultaneously. Because of this, already standard method in the world for SCC mix design has not been expressed. In this paper, a new method of SCC mix design based on compressive strength is presented. various parameters such as aggregate gradation, packing density, volumetric ratio of water to powder, water to cement ratio, 28-day compressive strength is considered. Results of mix designs made in the laboratory are perfectly accordant with the values of target, so the proposed method is a real and valid.
