Abstract
This paper presents an experimental program for assessing several physical and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) that was manufactured and cured in hot climate conditions. Two SCC mixtures were tested incorporating either OPC or slag cement. The slump-flow which was maintained constant whatever the initial temperature to be 20 or 50 °C by the addition of water at the end of mixing. SCC properties such as compressive strength, water porosity and shrinkage were determined on the cylindrical specimens of 11 × 22 cm. The obtained results on SCC mixed in hot temperature (50 °C) and relative to the control mixture (20 °C) showed that (i) concrete compressive strength is not altered with increasing the initial temperature, (ii) SCC with OPC/filler/slag presents better performances than OPC/filler based SCC.
