TRB Straight to Recording for All: Self-Consolidating Concrete for Cast-in-Place Bridge Components

TRB recorded a series of videos in February 2017 that featured research from National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 819: Self-Consolidating Concrete for Cast-in-Place Bridge Components. The report presents recommended guidelines for the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in cast-in-place highway bridge components. These guidelines address the selection of constituent materials, proportioning of concrete mixtures, testing methods, fresh and hardened concrete properties, production and quality control issues, and other aspects of SCC. The videos discuss the research scope and approach, small-scale lab-mixed concrete specimens, full-scale ready-mixed concrete specimens, and proposed changes to the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications. The videos are available on-demand at no cost.

The slides are available. The videos are also available.
