Self-Consolidating Concrete - Visual Stability Index (VSI)

A visual tool to assist concrete producers in consistently applying the Visual Stability Index (VSI) to concrete production. The VSI was originally developed by Master Builders Solutions as a reference when producing self-consolidating concrete. The stability of self-consolidating concrete can be observed visually by examining the concrete mass and therefore can be used for quality control of self-consolidating mixtures.

Self-Consolidating Grout - For Reinforced Concrete Masonry Walls

Self-consolidating grout (SCG) is a highly-fluid and stable mixture used in low-lift and high-lift grouting of reinforced concrete masonry walls.
