SELF-COMPACTIBLE CONCRETE

SELF-COMPACTIBLE CONCRETE

This concrete is the latest technological development in the industry.
It has two main characteristics: a very high fluidity and cohesion among the cement paste and its aggregates, allowing it to flow without segregating or reducing or eliminating the consolidation and vibrating of concrete.
● We recommend using it on hard to reach setting for concrete.
● Specially useful on columns and ties with a high content of reinforcement steel.
● Excellent for pre-cast and pre-stressed pieces in which the finishing have to be of a superior quality.
● Its high level of fluidity allows for faster setting.
● Specially useful in the setting where the quantity of reinforcement steel make it difficult for the concrete and the vibrators to reach.
● Its capacity for self-compactibility produce a more dense concrete with a lower permeability.
● The resistance to minimum compression is of 250 Kg/cm²
● Inflexion resistance ranges from 35 to 50 Kg/cm²
● The maximum aggregate size can be of 20 or 40 mm.
● The shrinkage on this concrete ranges from 6 to 12 cm.
● Meets the requirements established in Norms NMX-C-155 and NMX-C-403 of the Complementary Technical Norms of the G.D.F.
