Abstract. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) should generally be placed continuously, but it is not uncommon for contractors to be forced to use interruptions in concrete works due to delivery delays. The multilayer casting of SCC can cause weak bond conditions in the contact area of subsequent layers. Methods of preventing cold joint or lift line formation for normal concretes …Author: Piotr Dybeł, Milena Kucharska
Retarders for concrete are used to delay the initial setting time of the concrete upto an hour. They are generally used in the hot weather condition to counter the rapid hardening due to high temperature, thus allowing the time for mixing, transporting and placing. Retarders also acts as water reducers. In this article we discuss about the mechanism of retardation, types of …Estimated Reading Time: 6 mins

Then the pipe is gently raised about 6 inches to release the concrete letting it rise up around the tube. In proper tremie placing, a closure is used to seal the pipe prior to placing the concrete. As the tremie is lowered to the bottom of the form, water pressure holds the plate tightly in position. Then the pipe and hopper are filled.
