SCC2013 - 5th North American Conference on the Design and Use of Self-Consolidating Concrete

The purposes of SCC 2013 are
• to demonstrate results and outcomes of recent SCC research and practice as well as their benefits for our concrete industry, society, and environment;
• to uphold a platform to further address challenges and strategies for advancing the use of SCC;
• to promote broader dialogue and greater interactions between international SCC researchers and users.
Together, we hope to reshape “The New Normal” with newfound “Innovation, Application, and Production” in the field of SCC.


Key topics:
• Fundamental and materials science aspects
• Powdered materials and aggregate
• Chemical admixtures
• Mix design methodologies and procedures
• Rheology and workability
• Engineering properties and durability
• Experimentation - instrumentation and methods
