| Summary: | This report is a brief discussion on the preliminary research conducted and basic understanding
of the chosen topic, which is Comparison of Dynamic Response of Self Compacting Concrete
with Normal Concrete. The objective of the project was to study and compare the response in
terms of flexure between conventional vibrated concrete (CVC) and self compacting concrete
(SCC) after subjected to dynamic loadings. Lab testing were conducted to evaluate the properties
of fresh concrete but more focus was on the hardened concrete. The fresh concrete was tested for
its workability, viscosity and resistance to segregation. 3 pairs of SCC and CVC beams were
subjected to 3 different dynamic load ranges. The performance of all beams was evaluated based
on the results of crack pattern, deflection rates and strain ratios. The strength of SCC beams were
found to be higher than CVC beams, but the strain ratios of SCC beams were higher than CVC
beams which suggested that SCC beams recorded more elongation |
