The State-of-the-Art Report of RILEM Technical Committee 228-MPS on
Mechanical properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) summarizes an
extensive body of information related to mechanical properties and
mechanical behaviour of SCC. Due attention is given to the fact that the
composition of SCC varies significantly. A wide range of mechanical
properties are considered, including compressive strength, stress-strain
relationship, tensile and flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity,
shear strength, effect of elevated temperature, such as fire spalling
and residual properties after fire, in-situ properties, creep,
shrinkage, bond properties and structural behaviour. A chapter on
fibre-reinforced SCC is included, as well as a chapter on specialty SCC,
such as light-weight SCC, heavy-weight SCC, preplaced aggregate SCC,
special fibre reinforced SCC and underwater concrete.
