The high proportions of these raw materials in SCC can in great part explain this performance. 18 SCC mixes of slump-flow class SF3 were prepared for a thorough evaluation of different sustainable materials and for the prediction of their effects as binder or fine/powder aggregate on the mechanical properties of SCC. The mixes incorporated 100% coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA); different amounts (0%, 50% or 100%) of fine RCA; CEM I ordinary Portland cement and CEM III/A (with 45% ground granulated blast furnace slag); and more sustainable powders compared to conventional limestone filler <0.063 mm (such as limestone powder 0/0.5 mm and RCA powder 0/0.5 mm). Flowability, hardened density, strength under compression, tensile and bending stresses and modulus of elasticity were all studied. The addition of 50% fine RCA yielded an SCC of adequate strength, stiffness and flowability. SCC manufactured with limestone powder 0/0.5 mm showed the best overall performance, while SCC behavior was improved when adding CEM III/A by adjusting the mix composition. The experimental results of all the mechanical properties were compared with the values predicted by the compressive-strength-based formulas from the European and USA standards. Overall, the values resulting from those expressions overestimated all the mechanical properties. Therefore, since all these properties followed the same simple-regression trend, a statistical analysis was performed to develop a global model capable of accurately predicting them all.
