  • Abstract:
  • A self-compacting concrete (SCC) is the one that can be placed in the form and can go through obstructions by its own weight and without the need of vibration. SCC provides better quality especially in the members having reinforcement congestion or decreasing the permeability and improving durability of concrete. The primary distinction between conventional concrete and SCC lies in the incorporation of mineral admixtures. These admixtures, particularly industrial by-products such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and silica fume, are commonly used as partial replacements for cement. Their inclusion not only contributes to improving the rheological properties of SCC but also enhances its mechanical performance and sustainability. The scope is to develop suitable mixes of the work is to containing the mineral admixtures to satisfy the requirements of SCC using local aggregates and to determine the strength and durability of such concrete
