Question 1

What is the yield stress in self-compacting concrete?

  • A moderate stress to allow flow
  • Minimum stress needed to initiate flow
  • Maximum stress after placement

💡 Hint: Think about what is necessary to start the movement of a thick liquid.

Question 2

True or False: Plastic viscosity and yield stress are the same.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how flow characteristics differ when liquid is already moving.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the yield stress of SCC is too high, what modifications can be systematically applied to reduce it?

💡 Hint: Consider how making the mix more fluid can lower the resistance to flow.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of thixotropy in SCC when designing for structures with complex shapes.

💡 Hint: Think about how shape stability impacts visual appearance and structural integrity.
