AB The behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is very sensitive to the use of by-productsin replacement of conventional cement or finer aggregate fractions. The high proportionsof these raw materials in SCC can in great part explain this performance. 18 SCC mixes ofslump-flow class SF3 were prepared for a thorough evaluation of different sustainablematerials and for the prediction of their effects as binder or fine/powder aggregate on themechanical properties of SCC. The mixes incorporated 100% coarse Recycled ConcreteAggregate (RCA); different amounts (0%, 50% or 100%) of fine RCA; CEM I ordinary Portlandcement 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 limestonepowder 0/0.5 mm and RCA powder 0/0.5 mm). Flowability, hardened density, strengthunder 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 andflowability. SCC manufactured with limestone powder 0/0.5 mm showed the best overallperformance, while SCC behavior was improved when adding CEM III/A by adjusting themix composition. The experimental results of all the mechanical properties werecompared with the values predicted by the compressive-strength-based formulas from theEuropean and USA standards. Overall, the values resulting from those expressions overestimated all the mechanical properties. Therefore, since all these properties followedthe same simple-regression trend, a statistical analysis was performed to develop a globalmodel capable of accurately predicting them all.
