Design of concrete for high flowability: Progress report of fib task group 4.3
Flowable concretes can differ significantly from traditional vibrated concrete. Concrete types like selfcompacting concrete (SCC), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and high performance fibre reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs) require novel mix design approaches. This has consequences for the production and the performance in the hardened state. Mix designs for flowable concretes can incorporate a wide variety of innovative admixtures or components: e.g. superplasticisers increase the flowability and allow for significant reduction of the water content, shrinkage compensating admixtures or superabsorbent polymers support sound and damage free curing processes, viscosity modifying admixtures enhance the robustness, and new fibre types allow for sophisticated and tailored structural performance. The new Model Code has limitations regarding the application of flowable concrete, e.g. thresholds for the minimum aggregate size and the maximum strength. Provisions are added to include fibres for structural design. fib Task Group 4.3 aims at facilitating the use of innovative flowable materials for designing concrete structures and considers three aspects of flowable concrete: material properties, production effects and structural boundary conditions and performance. This paper reports about the progress of fib TG 4.3 related to the mix design of flowable concrete and discusses the present stateof-the art concerning admixtures and robustness.Civil Engineering and Geoscience

Supplement 1. R script files used for the rarefaction analysis and null model code to assess data constraints.
File List
rarefmat.R (MD5: 8adbb322bc311ae7073b766aff35dd61)
null_model.R (MD5: eba027b2849baf889bc70036549a2aeb)
Description
The file 'rarefmat' contains the scripts for the function rarefmat in R. The function compares the Bray-Curtis dissimilarities between two matrices of the same dimensions, and rarefies one by sampling a given proportion of interactions (0.8, 0.6, 0.4 and 0.2). It returns the observed dissimilarity between the original matrices and the mean and confidence limits of dissimilarities of rarefied matrices for each level of sampling.
The file 'null_model' contains the script for the null model function to assess the constraints of a triangular pattern in the relationship between floral composition and flower traits. The function call is null_model(x,y), where x and y are the two variables with a triangular relationship. The null-model calculates Spearman correlation coefficients rs of randomly generated data (999 iterations) that were restricted by the limits of the observed data.
