Abstract This paper presents the preparation technology of high-strength self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing ultrapulverized fly ash (UPFA) and superplasticizer (SP). After selecting the parameters of mix proportions, a SCC with good workability, high mechanical properties, and high durability is developed. The experimental results indicate that the fresh mixture has low slump loss. The compressive strength of concrete reaches 80 MPa, and the concrete presents low permeability, good freeze–thaw resistance, and low drying shrinkage.

• Mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete reinforced with polypropylene fibres (2011, methodology): “The use of SCC is increasing.(11) So called superplasticisers (SPs) are typically used in SCC to reduce the water/binder ratio.”
• Packing density of cementitious materials: part 2—packing and flow of OPC + PFA + CSF (2008, unknown): “Recently, Xie et al. [ 9 ] have utilized the filling effect of ultrafine PFA, which has a much higher fineness than ordinary PFA, to produce high-strength, selfconsolidating concrete with excellent slump flow.”
