Abstract
The pumpability of a concrete mixture cannot be described by one “single parameter”. The mixture composition, the pump equipment, the pumping pressure,… these parameters all affect the pumpability of a mixture and the ability to form a lubrication layer. Especially in case of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), where an optimal packing density, a high amount of powders and a low water/binder-ratio are necessary, the formation of that layer is not evident. In this research, the particle mobility is improved by adding an excess amount of paste to a reference UHPC-mixture in order to create a slip layer. As the required slip layer thickness of a pumpable UHPC-mixture is still unknown, different values are taken into account, reaching from 1 to 10 mm. The varying thickness influences the concrete properties in hardened state. One can see that for a thicker lubrication layer, the durability properties decrease due to a higher porosity. The compressive strength is more or less the same comparing the different mixtures.
