Introduction
 It is very flowable Concrete with high workability that has
ability to flow under Its own weight with no need of
vibration no segregation and without the seperation of the
constitution material until it sets.
Development
 The concept of self-compacting concrete was proposed in
1986 by Professor Hajime Okamura, but the prototype was
first developed in 1988 in Japan, at the University of Tokyo.
 In 1983, there occurred a great problem while studying the
durability of concrete structures in japan.
 The problem is that to make a durable concrete an adequate
compaction is necessary by skilled labour.
 So as a solution for the above problem “scc” was created by
okamura in 1986.
 Hence okamura is known as the father of“scc”technology .
 At first scc is only used in pre-fabricated products and
ready mixed concrete in japan.
 Self compacting concrete has been described as"the most
revolutionary development in concrete construction foe
several decades".
Material Required
 Cement
 Fine aggregate
 Course aggregate
 Water
 Chemical admixture such as super plasticizers, vicosity
modifying agent, Air entraining Agent.
 Mineral admixtures such as fly ash,GGBFS,Silica fume
