ACI 237R-07 (R2019) PDF Download

ACI 237R-07 (R2019) is a standard that provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge and practices related to the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC). SCC is a specialized type of concrete that is highly fluid and able to flow and consolidate under its own weight without the need for mechanical vibration. It has proven to be effective in various concrete placement scenarios and has had a significant impact on construction economics.

The purpose of this standard is to inform concrete producers, users, and specifiers of SCC about the known practices and processes associated with this material. It covers topics such as materials, mixture proportioning, production, and placement of SCC. The standard also discusses the testing and evaluation of SCC in terms of its fresh properties, hardened properties, and durability.

It is worth noting that the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established Subcommittee C09.47, Self-Consolidating Concrete, to develop standard test methods for SCC. This further emphasizes the importance and relevance of SCC in the concrete industry.
