Abstract: Recently the development and application of self-compacting concrete has known a great growth. Most times it is expected that self-compacting concrete has better surface quality, but this is not always the case. The surface may have a lot of holes. In the case of aesthetic problems it is furthermore not sure that these blowholes are only situated at the surface or that they also occur in the mass of the concrete. In the latter case there will be not only aesthetic but also durability problems. These issues are investigated in the present paper.
