Hydraulic binder composition comprising: a mixture of (i) between 20 and 95 dry wt % of at least one steel making slag, (ii) between 4 and 79 dry wt % of at least a slag different from (i) and/or at least one pozzolanic material and/or at least one inert filler, and (iii) between 1 and 25 dry wt % of at least one co-binder; between 0.01 and 10 dry wt %, relative to the mixture total dry weight, of at least one steel making slag accelerator, between 0.1 and 5 dry wt %, relative to the mixture total dry weight, of at least one alkali activator for reacting (i), (ii), and/or (iii) with water, the alkali activator different from the slag accelerator and chosen among alkali mineral salts and mixtures thereof; and between 0.1 and 2 dry wt %, relative to the mixture total dry weight, of at least one fluidification agent.

A core wall-thinning design method for a prestressed high-performance concrete cylinder pipe is provided. The PCCP uses high-performance concrete, which includes P.O 42.5 or P.O 52.5 portland cement, river sand, mineral powder, fly ash, silica fume, steel fibers, polypropylene fibers, a high-efficiency polycarboxylate superplasticizer, and superabsorbent resin, and which is prepared by: adding all cementitious materials, sand and superabsorbent resin for mixing until uniform dispersion; dissolving the superplasticizer in water, and adding the superplasticizer dissolved in water and evenly stirring; and evenly adding steel fibers and polypropylene fibers and evenly stirring. The compressive strength and the tensile strength of the high-performance concrete are increased. A core wall-thinning design method, includes: establishing an axisymmetric double-layer ring plane strain model, to analyze radial displacement and circumferential stress of an outer ring and an inner ring of the PCCP, and then deriving a calculation formula of the wall-thinning design.

A process for preparing a wet concrete composition, including mixing with water: aggregate(s), a binder system, which is 400 Kg per m.sup.3 or less of the wet concrete composition, and an admixture formulation. The binder system is prepared before or during the mixing, from at least some of the different components of the binder system, taken separately and/or in premix form(s). The binder system has between 1% and 34% dry weight of lime source(s), between 5% and 75% dry weight of ground granulated blast furnace slag, between 21% and 90% dry weight of filler(s), and between 0.1% and 5% SO.sub.3 dry weight, relative to the lime source(s), slag and filler(s). The admixture formulation includes at least one water reducing polymer, optionally with a wetting agent and/or surfactant. The mixing is carried out at a water to binder system weight ratio between 0.2 and 0.4.

A binder composition including: (a) between 10% and 49% in dry weight of Portland cement, lime or a mixture thereof; (b) between 10% and 49% in dry weight of at least one pozzolanic material; (c) between 21% and 80% in dry weight of at least one filler; (d) between 0.1% and 10% in dry weight, relative to the total weight of components (a), (b) and (c), of at least one activator; (e) between 0.05% and 1.5% in dry weight, relative to the total weight of components (a), (b) and (c), of at least one rheology enhancing admixture. The filler is a particles mixture of: between 10% and 100% in weight, in respect with the total weight of the filler, of particles having a d50 greater than or equal to 0.05 m and strictly less than 8 m, and between 0% and 90% in weight, in respect with the total weight of the filler, of particles having a d50 greater than or equal to 8 m and less than 200 m.
