  1. aA common range of slump flow for SCC is 450–760 mm (ACI 237R 2007).
  2. b1 = Stable with no evidence of segregation and slight bleeding observed as a sheen on the concrete mass (ASTM C1611 2009).
  3. cSCC is generally considered to be acceptable if the percent segregation is less than 10 % (ACI 237R 2007).
  4. dThe minimum ratio of the L-Box value is considered to be 80 % (ACI 237R 2007).
