  • Abstract:
  • Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gained significant attention in recent years due to its ability to flow under its own weight without the need for mechanical compaction. This study presents an investigation into the mix design of M-30 grade self-compacting concrete, with a focus on optimizing workability, compressive strength, and durability characteristics. Various combinations of binder content, aggregates, and admixtures were considered to develop a cost-effective and efficient SCC mix. The influence of water-powder ratio, superplasticizer dosage, and fine-to-coarse aggregate ratio on the properties of SCC, such as filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance, were studied. The experimental results revealed an optimal mix design that satisfies the requirements of fresh and hardened properties, ensuring suitable performance for structural applications. The developed mix design also demonstrated potential for enhancing the sustainability of concrete by incorporating supplementary cementitious materials.
