Advances in cementitious composites and nanotechnologies have led to the development of self-compacting concrete (SCC) modified with nanoparticles. SCC with Al2O3 nanoparticles was used in this study. In addition, a reference sample of SCC without an addition of nanoparticles was investigated. First, the micro-mechanical properties of each phase of the composites were examined using the statistical nanoindentation techniques and deconvo-lution. Then, the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) was investigated using line indentation and X-ray microCT. The results indicated that the ITZ played no significant role in the compo-sites. Subsequently, modified Mori–Tanaka and self-consistent homogenization schemes, accounting for random variability of constituent properties, were applied to evaluate the overall elastic properties of the composites. Then, macroscale laboratory (uniaxial compres-sion) tests were carried out to verify the adopted approach. The results of the micro- and macroscale tests showed that the proposed laboratory investigation procedure and homog-enization approach were proper. Finally, the modified Mori–Tanaka scheme was used to verify the influence of material composition on the effective elastic modulus of SCC with Al2O3 nanoparticles.
