Three typographical errors appeared in this paper when it was published in Structures and Buildings165(3): 127–138, http://dx.doi.org/10.1680/stbu.2012.165.3.127.

The second author's first name should have been given as Ravindra K. Dhir.

Two values in Table 3 were incorrect, the table with corrected values (emboldened) appears below.

* Height from top of element to lowest pressure measurement point; C: column; W: wall (using CIRIA 108 definition).

Involved a retarder.

Shaded areas: Pumping from below, except one case (Bernabeu, 2000) when the discharge pipe was kept under SCC level during the pour.

SF: silica fume; NA: information not available.
