This work presents a statistical study on the variability of the mechanical properties of hardened self-compacting concrete, including the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. The ...

This work describes proposed experimental methods for the characterization of concrete in fresh and hardened state, with the purpose of contributing to the experimental characterization of concrete. The main objective was ...

To evaluate the geometrical influence of new types of hollow concrete blocks, six different geometries were investigated using self-consolidating concrete to fabricate the blocks. The cell shapes studied were circular, ...

In this study, fibre-reinforced self-compacting concretes were developed for precast building components, incorporating either adherent metal fibres or polymeric synthetic slipping fibres or a combination of both. To achieve ...

This work analyzes the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior up to failure of self-compacting high strength concrete specimens when subjected to three different stress paths, corresponding to the uniaxial ...

This research studies the durability of self compacting concrete (SCC) with residue of masonry (RM) taken from construction and demolition waste (CDW) as partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). For this ...

This research studies the influence of the pozzolanic activity of the calcareous and basalt in the resistence behavior of the compressive strength of high performance self-compacting concrete (HPSCC). The selected aditives ...
