Performance evaluation method of self-consolidating concrete

Due to its outstanding performance and merits, Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) has attracted a wide attention from scientists, researchers and engineers all over the world. At present, many research activities have been conducted in developing and evaluating SCC and its related technologies. However, existing performance evaluation methods of are mostly limited in the field of material, while structure performance evaluation methods of SCC are rarely reported. As we all known, the lifetime of the SCC structure is mainly subject to its material, structural and durability performances as a whole. Undoubtedly, it is crucial for us to study and develop a sound structural and durability performance evaluation method to complement the existing material performance evaluation methods. As such, the structural and durability performance evaluation method of SCC was studied in this paper.
