ISSN:0950061809500618http://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/4591Interaction between the coarse aggregates and the mortar phase of self-compacting concrete (SCC) was evaluated in a two phase program. In the first phase, 74 mortars suitable for SCC were produced, combining different volumetric ratios between powders and fine aggregates and different binary blends of powders. In the second phase, 60 concretes were produced with different volumetric ratios between the mortar phase and the coarse aggregates, and their fresh and hardened properties were evaluated. Based on this study, correlations between mix design parameters, fresh and hardened properties were obtained and a methodology was proposed for the mix design of SCC.engMix designSelf-compacting concreteSlump-flow testV-funnel testL-box testBox testCompressive strengthDensityjournal article10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2014.04.021
