Additional SCC related studies

Other studies that can add value to the knowledge area of SCC implementation in South Africa are:

106 | Self-compacting concrete versus normal compacting concrete: A techno-economic analysis.

 The comparison of additional case studies, of various geometries, to compare the cost breakdowns of the element types in different applications. This can highlight certain trends associated with specific element characteristics such as element size and geometry

 The quantification of the success rate of SCC implementation in South Africa of projects of different sizes can be used to identify the present problems that are associated with the technology in the South African industry

 The model created in this research can be applied to various projects of different geometries to investigate correlations between the geometric characteristics of a project and the relationship between cost and time savings. Such a study can evaluate the expected overhead expenditures that will economically justify the use of SCC for various project geometries.
