Evaluation Of Possibility Of Segregation In Self-Compacting Concrete Using Newly Designed Segregation Test Equipment: A Comparative Study With Standard Workability Tests

This research investigates the possibility of segregation of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) using a multi-compartment testing device. SCC is designed to flow under its own weight while maintaining homogeneity, yet its stability is crucial to prevent segregation. The multi-compartment test aims to quantitatively assess segregation and compare results with standard workability tests: Slump Flow, V-Funnel, and L-Box. The influence of parameters such as water-to-cement ratio and aggregate size was analyzed. Findings reveal that the newly designed segregation test Equipmentoffers a practical alternative to detect and quantify segregation potential, supporting or enhancing standard SCC quality assessments.
