Reproducibility of self-compacting concrete batches between two different EU laboratories

Abstract

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) offers a wide variety of advantages during casting. Considering the worldwide uniformity of guidelines concerning the composition and casting instructions for the production of fresh SCC, there is a need to explore the reproducibility of similar self-compacting concrete batches between different countries. In the present study, the fresh properties of similar SCC batches produced in two different laboratories of the European Union are being compared and evaluated.
