A new kind of SCC pouring method named scattering-filling coarse aggregate process was invented: it was method to scatter 20% (volume fraction to the finished concrete) of extra coarse aggregate into the fresh SCC mixture to replace the fresh concrete mixture while the concrete was pouring. A high strength (82 MPa) SCC just composing 360 kg/m3 cement and 120 kg/m3 class F fly ash was prepared with this process. With an increase of the extra coarse aggregate replacing ratio from 0 to 30%, the compressive strength of SCC increased steadily and reached a peak value when this ratio is 20%, then the strength dropped sharply. The drying shrinkage ratio and the chloride ion permeability decreased with the increase of that ratio. The scattering-filling coarse aggregate process can cast high strength SCC with lower cementitious materials content and produce concrete with better performance than the ordinary process.
