Deformation behaviour of self-compacting concrete containing high volume palm oil fuel ash

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an advanced type of concrete that can be placed and compacted under its own mass without vibration. SCC is used to facilitate and ensure proper filling and good structural performance of restricted areas and heavily reinforced structural members. SCC is a flowing co...
