Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 819: Self Consolidating Concrete for Cast in Place Bridge Components 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 report also presents proposed changes to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design and Construction Specifications to address use of SCC for cast in place highway bridge components. The information contained in the report will guide materials and bridge engineers in evaluating, selecting, and specifying SCC mixtures for use in cast in place concrete bridge components, thereby facilitating construction, improving the working environment and safety, and reducing cost."--Publisher's description
