The document reviews research on self-compacting concrete, which can be placed and compacted under its own weight without vibration. It summarizes various studies that have investigated the fresh and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete made with different admixtures like fly ash and slag, finding that these can provide satisfactory strength when used to partially replace cement. The review also examines the effects of factors like water-cement ratio, paste content, and viscosity modifiers on the workability and durability of self-compacting concrete.
