Abstract
The modeling of self compacting concrete flow can significantly contribute to the
durability and strength of a structure and it is necessary for design optimization of any
casting procedure. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of fresh concrete
rheology and to present a numerical model based on an homogeneous approach for
the simulation of fresh concrete casting. The application of the model is illustrated
through several examples.
