8 Steel bars are traditionally used in reinforced concrete members. In general steel bars are solid in cross section. Steel tubes that have the same cross sectional area as solid bars will have higher second moment of area and stiffness. Using steel tubes in lieu of solid bars will increase the stiffness of concrete members. Steel bars 8 Steel tubes

9 Self-Compacting Concrete is an innovative concrete that can flow and consolidate under its only weight. 9 Placement of SCC by pump tremie (Goodier, 2003) (Mott MacDonald Ltd)

10 Self-Compacting Concrete Mix proportion Type of mix EFNARC (2002) method. 10 Self-compacting concrete mix proportion Material Cement Mineral admixtures Fine aggregate Coarse aggregate Quantity/1m 3 of concrete 280 kg 170 kg 950 kg 780 kg Water 182 kg High Range Water Reducer l/ m 3 Water/Powder ratio 0.4

11 . Check fresh concrete properties with ASTM Methods Where : a) Slump flow test This test was carried out according to ASTM C1611 (2014). Calculate the slump flow (SF) according to the flowing equation: d max d perp SF 2 d max = The maximum diameter of the circular spread of the SCC. d perp = The perpendicular diameter to d max. 11 Slump flow test

12 b) J- Ring test This test was carried out according to ASTM C1621 (2014). Calculate J-Ring flow (RF) according to the following equation: RF j max j 2 perp Where: j max = The maximum diameter of the circular spread of the SCC. j perp = The perpendicular diameter to j max. Passing Ability= slump flow J-Ring flow 12 J-Ring test

13 c) Column segregation test ASTM C-1610 (2014). This test evaluates the static stability of a concrete mixture. This test consists of filling a 660 mm high cylindrical mould with concrete. (250 mm) (230 mm) (220 mm) (515 mm) (115 mm) (170 mm) (50 mm) (510 mm) 13 Detail of column mould Detail of collector plate (Based on ASTM C-1610, 2014)

14 c) Column segregation test (cont'd) Percent static segregation is calculated from equation: S% 2 CA CA B B CA CA T T 100 if CA B > CA T Where S% S % = percent static segregation. CA T = mass of coarse aggregate in the top section of the column. CA B = mass of coarse aggregate in the bottom section of the column. 0, if CA B CA T 14 Column test
