Abstract
Proportioning and mixing self-compacting concrete is a challenging task because the concrete mixture has to be stable and has to have the ability to fill formwork and to bypass obstacles under the influence of its own weight. Besides that, the final product has to be quality hardened concrete. It is known that even a little alteration of any component can significantly change characteristics of fresh and hardened concrete. In this work, the influences of the type of cement and additions, namely silica fumes and metakaolin on the workability and compressive strength of self-compacting concrete, are experimentally examined. For this purpose, several mixtures of self-compacting concrete were prepared and tested. The properties of fresh mixture were determined by the slump flow method, visual assessment of stability, T50 time, V-funnel method, L-box method and J-ring method. Also, in the hardened state, compressive strengths after 7 and after 28 days were determined. Results obtained in this work were compared with the results of other authors.
