Self-compacting concretes (SCC) are a type of high performance concrete (HPC) developed to reach a high flowability in fresh state, without losing cohesion, nor presenting segregation. This paper shows the results from a research in fresh and hardened states of different concretes prepared with Chilean Portland-Pozzolan cements, developed to fulfill flowable specifications and cohesion established by the current practice to be considered as SCC. To characterize the flowability, the applied methods were inverted cone draining, and L-shaped box draining. Properties in the fresh state were determined through compression and splitting-tension tests reaching resistance values under compression over 45 MPa. Such results reveal that it is possible to get SCC satisfactorily using blendedhydraulic cements.
