SCC tests: (1) Slump flow: filling ability - target 550-850 mm diameter spread; (2) T50 time: viscosity < 2 s = low viscosity, > 5 s = high; (3) L-box: passing ability (H2/H1 > 0.8); (4) V-funnel: flow time < 25 s; (5) J-ring: blocking resistance (max 10 mm difference). SCC does not need vibration.
