Self-compacting concretes (SCC) – comparison of methods of dosage
most recalled by designers and other professionals. The SCC modulus
of elasticity test, based on ABNT NBR 8522:2008 [10], was carried out
because that is an important characteristic which impacts the removal
of the structural pieces from their molds while it is also a reason why
some professionals choose not to use SCC, once it may face a signifi-
cant reduction in its value due to the materials used in its composition.
