Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is concrete that is measured by flow, not by slump (view a demonstration; this requires Windows Media Player).

SCC reduces placement costs and improves finished formed surfaces without the need for external energy such as vibration, or movement of the discharge stream. This is done by maximizing the gradation of aggregates and by using specifically designed chemical admixtures to maintain mix cohesiveness and fluidity, without segregation.

SCC meets the demands of the most difficult concrete placements. Examples include congested steel reinforcement, reveals, block-outs, plumbing, and other architectural elements.

SCC also reduces the appearance of "bug holes" when compared to conventional concrete systems
