Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that can be placed and compacted under its own weight with little or no vibration effort, while being cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding at the same time. It is used to facilitate and ensure proper filling and good structural performance in resistricted areas and heavily reinforced structural members. SCC concept has gained a wider use in many countries for different applications and structural configurations due to the fact that it can provide a better working environment by eliminating the vibration noise. The several advantages reported in using SCC are reduced the construction time and the labour cost, eliminating the need for vibration, reduced noise pollution, improved compactability even in highly congested structural members, and finally a better construction ensuring good structural performance.
The elimination of vibration for compacting concrete during placing through the use of Self Compacting Concrete leads to substantial advantages related to better homogeneity, enhancement of working environment and improvement in the productivity by increasing the speed of construction The resulting concrete is characterized in the fresh state by methods used for Self compacted concrete, such as slump-flow, V-funnel and L- box tests respectively. This paper concentrates mainly on studying the properties like Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength of SCC mix proportions ranging from M30 to M65 Grades of Concrete.
