  • Abstract:
  • The advancement of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), alternatively known as 'Self-Consolidating Concrete' and 'High-Performance Concrete', stands out as a significant stride in the construction sector. This specialized type of concrete effortlessly flows into reinforcement gaps and mold corners, eliminating the necessity for vibration and compaction during pouring. Its versatility extends to both pre-cast applications and on-site concrete placement. Utilizing SCC yields durable structures while streamlining labor efforts and minimizing consolidation noise. SCC represents an innovative evolution from traditionally vibrated concrete (NVC), distinguished by its remarkable ability to seamlessly flow and spread even within thinner and densely reinforced sections, all achieved without requiring supplementary vibration. This paper presents the influence of admixtures on the properties of self-compacting concrete. In this paper, both the fresh state properties and hardened state properties were studied.
