   Self-Consolidating Concrete ($\text{SCC}$)
   $\text{SCC}$ is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, and encapsulates reinforcement without mechanical vibration. Its fluidity is achieved through a high volume of fines (cement and supplementary cementitious materials) and the use of high-range water reducers ([superplasticizers](/entries/superplastic…

2. Concrete Production

   Linked via "High-range water reducers"

   Admixtures modify the properties of concrete in the plastic state or hardened state. Key classes include:
   Water Reducers-(Plasticizers/Superplasticizers): These agents typically adsorb onto the surface of cement grains, causing electrostatic repulsion and improving flowability without adding excess water. [High-range water reducers](/entries/high-range-water-red…
