6th International RILEM Symposium on Self-Compacting Concrete

4th North American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC

 The SCC2010 comprising the 6th International RILEM Symposium on Self-Compacting Concrete and the 4th North American Conference on the Design and Use of SCC was held from 26 to 29 September in Montreal, Canada.

The conference venue was the Le Centre Sheraton Hotel located in downtown Montreal. The conference was mainly organized by the Université de Sherbrooke. Topics covered during this conference included SCC mix design, chemical admixtures, rheology and workability, production and placement, flow modeling, formwork pressure, hardened properties, bond strength, structural performance, fiber-reinforced SCC and case studies. These papers reflected significant advances made in the research, design, and implementation of SCC worldwide during the last few years. Over 130 papers were presented during the...
