Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is an advanced type of concrete that can flow under its own mass without vibration, pass through intricate geometrical configurations, and resist segregation. SCC constituent materials ...

Aggregate shape, texture, and grading have a significant effect on the performance of fresh concrete. Aggregate blends with well-shaped, rounded, and smooth particles require less paste for a given slump than blends with ...

The shape of aggregate particles can significantly influence certain properties of concrete, both in its fresh and hardened states. Therefore, there is a need to be able to completely characterize the shape of aggregate ...
