Whether it is referred to as "self-levelling concrete" or "flowable fill concrete", this magnificent innovation is no other construction material but the "self-compacting concrete" originated in a laboratory at the University of Tokyo over a decade ago.
After its introduction, the concrete's immediate popularity within and outside Japan was hampered by the high cost of materials, the lack of construction manuals and the reluctance of some governments to adopted untested technologies. Although the cost of materials remains higher than the conventional concrete, the savings - particularly in time - make self-compacting concrete attractive. At present, the merits of self-compacting concrete have gathered considerable strength in Europe and Japan.
The first international workshop on self-compacting concrete was held at Kochi University of Technology, Japan in August 1998 at which SCC-Net was established and subsequently launched the following year. In 1999 a RILEM symposium was held in Stockholm.
It has now become evident that the long term durability and lifecycle cost are a serious problem with self-compacting concrete and must be dealt with. As a result, the second international symposium on self-compacting concrete will be held 23-25 October 2001 at the University of Tokyo so that up-to-date information and ideas can be exchanged.
