Abstract
The deveropment of a concrete which consolidate under its own weight could lead to substantial improvement in the quality of concrete structures. In order to realize such self-consolidating concrete, high range water reducing agent (HRWR) and fine powdered materials were used. Furthermore a special viscosity agent was used to stabilized flowability of the concrete. In this paper, the results of experiments on fresh concrete properties were provided. Influences of factors such as water-to-powder ratio, dosage of HRWR, volume fraction of coarse aggregate etc. were investigated regarding the flowability and filling capacity of the concrete. From the results obtained herein, mix-proportioning guide line for the self-consolidating concrete could be established.
