Production and testing of self-levelling concrete
The goal of this project was to develop self-levelling concrete at lower cost than traditional self-levelling concrete. The concrete of this study was only 20 % more expensive than usual concrete utilized for building concrete. Laboratory and on-site data proved that this objective could be reached if the mixture contained: 260 kg/m 3 normal portland cement, -140 kg/m 3 powdered limestone, 10 kg/m 3 chemical admixture composed of a superplasticizer and a viscosity agent. The production of this concrete was followed for one year and the main engineering properties investigated. The 28-day strength was higher than 30 MPa and the water-permeability was low, 10( exp -12) m/s. 8000 m 3 of such concrete were placed within one year and suggested that self-levelling concrete could be an interesting solution to improve the productivity on-site and the quality of buildings.
