Abstract:
Concrete is a material which has found a wide usage in engineering especially in
construction engineering and road infrastructure facilities. Development trends for high rise
constructions, modern skyscrapers indicate that building such constructions with normal
concretes and low consistency is impossible, therefore there is a need for concrete with high
processes because of great amount of reinforcement in cross-section of concrete elements.
Solution for such construction is self-compacting concrete because of its ability to fill good
formworks without compaction and vibration. Considering this fact, researches for cracks,
mechanical characteristics of concrete and deformations have been conducted worldwide. In
this line, we conducted an experimental research to determine the cracks on beams of selfcompacting
concrete and compared it with conventional concrete. The experimentallyobtained
results will be presented for both types of concrete for: module of elasticity,
compression strength, crack with and cracks spacing for duration failure testing time t = 400
days.
