Abstract: The development of self-compacting concrete has changed fresh concrete from being a granular material needing vibration for compaction into a fluid. Research in the field of rheology and developments in the areas of admixtures and fine particle materials have been instrumental for the growth of the technology. In a short time the technology has developed strongly in both research and practice and it is at present economically utilised in many markets. Several process, product and organisational innovations have been implemented but the technology is still in its infancy stage. Challenging, far reaching and interesting developments are no doubt lying ahead in research as well as in the use in practice.
