According to several research papers, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) should be able to offer
advantages over conventional vibrated concrete (CVC) [1

. Nevertheless, in Norway SCC
has a relatively low market share, and the use is mainly concentrated to the capitol and nearby
districts. In this paper, through interviews with professionals
in the construction industry,
possible causes of the low use of SCC in Norway
have been investigated. Lab tests have also
been conducted to study effects of variations in the concrete composition, as well as the effects
of poor execution that can occur due to inadequate competence of construction workers.
According to the paper ́s results, perceived advantages
of the SCC are not nearly as many as
those mentioned in various research papers [2
