Abstract: A process for preparing a wet concrete composition, including mixing with water: aggregate(s), a binder system, which is 400 Kg per m3 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% SO3 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.
