SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY
This paper discusses the social and economic benefits of self-compacting concrete(SCC)technology.It also compares SCC with normal concrete about the total cost for production of typical structural elements such as beams,columns and hollow-core slabs.The analyses indicate that the direct cost of construction using SCC increased 5% to 10% compared to that using normal concrete according to the current cost estimates.Though the increase of the overall cost is within 5%,the application of SCC to general construction can improve the quality of products,lower the cost of maintenance and improve the structural durability.
