Study of Properties in the Fresh and Hardened State of Concrete with Mineral Additions Contribution through Meta-Analysis, Mapping and Systematic Review of Literature for the Outline of Future Research on the Topic

Abstract

The properties of concrete in its hardened state are also a reflection of theproperties and characteristics in its fresh state. Portland cement concreterheology and optimization studies play an important role in the correlationwith mechanical properties, durability and field performance. Thus, throughthe Systematic Literature Review (RSL), the aim of this article is to analyzethe main tests in the fresh and hardening states of pastes and concrete, alsoobserving the types and percentages of mineral additions most commonlyused to design future research on the subject. For this purpose, search stringswere defined and searched in the main scientific databases. As a technologicalresult, after analyzing the publications, it was observed that the slump tests,V funnel, L box and mini-slump were commonly mentioned in the studies, aswell as the mineral additions fly ash and silica fume in respective contents 10to 25% and 2 to 10% in partial replacement of Portland cement. Besides that,porosity and microstructure analyze and chloride penetration were the mainproperties of concretes in the hardened state related to their durability.
