* 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.
