| Abstract | "This Open Access book details the different routes available for handling self-compacting concrete, which is stilll very largely labour-dependent and susceptible to placement problems such as pump failure and formwork leakage. The SmartCast (ERC Advanced Grant) Project, has developed Active Rheology Control and Active Stiffening Control methods for actively controlling the rheological and stiffening behaviour of fresh concrete during casting operations by modifying the concrete with responsive superplasticizer and/or magneto-responsive mineral additions. This allows enhancement of the target properties during the placement process and increased speed and placement reliability"-- Provided by publisher. |
