Abstract :
In the present article, a great deal of importance is attached to self-compacting concrete (SCC) based on mineral additions (natural pozzolan, blast furnace slag and limestone filler) as a new repair material, in order to determine its rheological and mechanical properties. Furthermore in this work, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the bond strength (adhesion) between the repair material (SCC) and the ordinary concrete substrate (OC), in order to highlight the effect of mineral addition on the adhesion (Repair/Substrate) and to compare the adhesion of (SCC) with the adhesion of vibrated concrete (OCV) as a reference control concrete. The (SCC) and (OCV) have the same strength class (30MPa). The results obtained showed that all the self-compacting concretes formulated for repair offer a remarkable superior adhesion of 1.7MPa with the ordinary concrete substrate. However, a significant adhesion improvement is observed in the case of self- compacting concrete containing the blast furnace slag.
