This study aims to present alternatives to reduce the demand of cement in concrete production based on particle packing concepts. Physical and mechanical characteristics of concretes, as well as the resistance to chlorides action were analyzed. The tests conducted in this study included compressive strength, chloride migration, capillary absorption tests and wetting and drying cycles in 1M sodium chloride solution. Mixtures containing limestone filler presented satisfactory results compared to the reference mixture with particle packing. Excellent results were obtained for concrete with cement consumption of 253.34 kg.m-3 in terms of compressive strength, binder index, capillary absorption and depassivation time of rebars, thus reinforcing the concept that partial cement replacement by limestone filler yields positive results in these properties. Worse results were obtained for concrete with a cement consumption of 161.86 kg.m-3, because it had a higher proportion of filler than cement. The electrochemical monitoring of the steel bars also shows that the packing of the aggregates was essential to delay the initiation of corrosion.
