INTRODUCTION
A
special type of concrete of flowing consistency. Developed initially in Japan in 1980s to offset the growing shortage of skilled labour. The composition in addition to cement and water, consists of high amount of super plasticizer, high powder content and a viscosity modifying agent.
REQUIREMENTS
For a mixture to have self compatibility, it should have
Type depends on the overall requirements for concrete such as strength, durability, etc.
C3A content higher than 10% may cause poor workability retention.
Typical cement content 350 to 450 kg/m3. Cement > 500kg/m3 cause increase in shrinkage. Cement < 350kg/m3 demands other fine fillers such as flyash, pozzolan, etc.
AGGREGATE SANDS All normal sands are suitable for SCC, Fines less than 0.125mm - powder, very important for SCC.
COARSE AGGREGATE All types of aggregates are suitable for SCC, Normal maximum size is generally 16 20mm, Crushed aggregates improve strength while rounded aggregate improve flow.
Fly ash: In appropriate quantity may be the added the quality Silica fumes: Added to improve the mechanical properties of scc. Stone powder: finely crushed lime stone, dolomite or granite added to increase the powder content. Fibres: fibres may be used to enhance the properties of scc as same as normal concrete
ROLE OF SUPERPLASTICIZERS.
METHODS OF SCC:
PROF. Okamura broadly classified it in 1997. They are two types Powder based. Viscosity enhancing agent based.

ADVANTAGES OF SCC.
Faster construction Reduction in site manpower Better surface finishes Easier placing Improved durability Greater freedom in design Thinner concrete sections Reduced noise levels, absence of vibration Safer working environment.

CONCLUSION.
Self-Compacting Concrete is considered to be the most promising building material for the expected revolutionary changes on the job site. We can create durable and reliable concrete structures using SCC
