Description

The presentation will discuss the difference between self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mix design versus standard wet cast and dry cast mixes used in precast construction. The presentation will also highlight the use of this type of concrete in a unique project located in Hibbing, MN where box culvert sections were used as pedestrian tunnels and “look-out” points for the Hull Rust Mine visitors center.
Topics to be discussed include:

Precast construction basics and the box culvert production process
General mix design characteristics and key properties for long-term performance
Self-consolidating concrete technology overview and comparison
Uses and applications for SCC mixes in precast
Hibbing Hull-Rust Mine View project overview and the unique application of precast box culverts.
