Conclusions
It is not possible to predict all aspects of workability with the slump flow test
Knowledge of plastic viscosity and yield value is sufficient to describe
workability of UHPC
Improved workability
with increasing replacement of limited portion of cement by fly ash
optimized mixture with combined replacement
Loss of workability
with increasing replacement of silica fume by ultra-fine fly ash
complete replacement of quartz powder by fly ash
