Abstract
For more than 20 years, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has been applied in the construction industry. In this period, a lot a research has been performed with regards to the applicability, mix design, pump-ability, durability, rheology, etc. of SCC. In the nineties, little attention was devoted to the mechanical properties of the material and to its performance. Recently, an increasing amount of research has been dedicated to these mechanical properties of SCC. Research projects often include data on compressive strength, tensile strength, and Young's modulus, although the main focus remained on other aspects of the concrete as mentioned above. In the past, some authors, e.g. Domone and Holschmacher, have presented surveys on the mechanical properties of SCC based on available literature. Due to a scarce amount of available test reulsts, these studies were based on a limited set of data. In this way they did not include, neglect or generalise the influence of some major parameters for the mechanical behaviour, such as type of aggregate. Therefore, it was decided, in the scope of this chapter to develop an extensive database with results on fresh and hardened properties of SCC reported between 1990 and 2011, originating from numerous journal and conference papers.
