An Application of Mat Foundation using Self Compacting Concrete

무다짐 콘크리트를 이용한 두께 3.5m인 대형 Mat 기초의 시공

The mat foundation of Tower Palace III is designed as a massive structure which has a 3.5m depth. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum mix design having good workability and to control the actual concrete quality in site. For this purpose, we select the Self Compacting Concrete. Recently, the Self Compacting Concrete has been applied to achieve workability improvement. As the result of actual application, we have finished placing the mass concrete of 8, 000m$^3$ during 14hours with good success and obtain the good quality concrete. All test results are satisfied with our specifications for mat foundation and cut cost as the reduction of placing hours.
