    Self-compacting concrete is a special type of concrete that is able to flow and consolidate under its own weight without any vibration. It was initially developed in Japan in the 1980s to address labor shortages. SCC mixtures contain a high amount of superplasticizer and have high powder content and viscosity modifying agents to achieve self-compatibility through filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance. SCC offers advantages like faster construction, better finishes, easier placing, improved durability, and a safer working environment. A case study on the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge found that using SCC shortened the anchorage construction period by 20%.

    SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE

    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

    Filling ability Passing ability Segregation resistance

    TESTING METHODS FOR FRESH CONCRETE.


    - Specified by Japanese Society Of Civil Engineers 1. Slump flow test 2. Funnel test 3. T50 test 4. U type and box type tests

    TEST METHOD Slump flow

    PROPERTY Filling ability

    PROPERTIES OF HARDENED SCC.

    1.Water-binder ratio 2. Air content(%)

    SCC
    0.25 to 0.40 4.5-6.0

    Compressive strength (age: 28 40 to 80 days) (MPa) Compressive strength (age: 91 55 to 100 days) (MPa) 5. Splitting tensile strength (age: 28 days) (MPa) 6. Elastic modulus (GPa) 7. Shrinkage strain (x 10-6) 2.4 to 4.8

    30 to 36 600 to 800

    REQUIREMENTS OF CONSTITUENT MATERIALS


    CEMENT

    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.

    MIX PROPORTIONING FOR ACHIEVING SELF COMPACTION.


    Changes in the coarse aggregate content. Changes in the fine aggregate content. Use of super plasticizers. Combination of most suitable water cement ratio and superplasticizer powder ratio.

    Coarse aggregate content-50% of solid volume.

    Fine aggregate content-40% of mortar volume.

    ROLE OF SUPERPLASTICIZERS.

    FLOW DIAGRAM OF MIXDESIGN SYSTEM.

    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.

    SELECTED CASE STUDY


    SCC was used in the construction of the two anchorages of the bridge. concrete was transported 200 meters through pipes, with out segregation to the actual casting site . In the final analysis self-compacting concrete shortened the anchorage construction period by
    20%.

    Akashi-Straits Bridge

    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
