Popis: The behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is very sensitive to the use of by-products in replacement of conventional cement or finer aggregate fractions. The high proportions of these raw materials in SCC can in great part explain this performance. 18 SCC mixes of slump-flow class SF3 were prepared for a thorough evaluation of different sustainable materials and for the prediction of their effects as binder or fine/powder aggregate on the mechanical properties of SCC. The mixes incorporated 100% coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA); different amounts (0%, 50% or 100%) of fine RCA; CEM I ordinary Portland cement and CEM III/A (with 45% ground granulated blast furnace slag); and more sustainable powders compared to conventional limestone filler
