✦ Synopsis
In this study, the stress-strain-behaviour of self-compacting concrete (SCC) and conventionally vibrated concrete (CVC) is compared. The influence of the paste volume and the cement type on E-modulus, flexural and compressive strengths, drying shrinkage, creep and stress development under restrained conditions is investigated on three SCC mixtures and three mixtures of CVC with identical waterto-cement-ratio. SCC reaches lower values for E-modulus, compressive and flexural strengths but higher values for shrinkage, creep and strain under restrained conditions. Besides the paste volume, the cement type plays a fundamental role regarding creep. Composite models were applied for comparisons and were able to predict the differences in E-modulus and shrinkage between CVC and SCC.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to find out the influence of paste and powder on self-compacting concrete mixtures. Tests have been conducted for 63 mixes with constant water content varying from 175 l/m 3 to 210 l/m 3 with three different paste contents.
