Abstract

Minimizing of cement paste volume not only decreases the cost of construction but also improves many of attributions regarding durability in self-consolidating concrete. In this paper, a mixture design method of Self-Consolidating Concrete based on minimum cement paste volume is proposed that descends cost of construction, more over because of creating a systematic modification process, achieving desired mixture is accelerated. It's understood from the results that amount of minimum required cement paste in self-consolidating concrete is dependable on aggregate size distribution and composition of cement paste, more over in self-consolidating concrete, it is probable that minimum amount of required cement paste is needed in aggregate composition that haven’t maximum packing density.
