8. WHAT IS SCC ?
DEFINITION
REQUIRMENTS
HAVE A FLUIDITY THAT ALLOWS SELF –
COMPACTION WITHOUT EXTERNAL ENERGY
REMAIN HOMOGENEOUS IN A FORM DURING AND
AFTER THE PLACING PROCESS AND
FLOW EASILY THROUGH REINFORCEMENT
HISTORY
12. PRPORTION
WATER : 15% OF VOLUME
POWER : 15% OF VOLUME
FINE AGGREGATE : 20% OF VOLUME
COARSE AGGREGATE : 50% OF VOLUME

23. BENEFITS OF SCC
FASTER CONSTRUCTION TIMES
LOWER OVERALL COSTS
BETTER SURFACE FINISHES
EASIER PLACING
THINNER CONCRETE SECTIONS
GREATER FREEDOM IN DESIGN
IMPROVED DURABILITY, AND RELIABILITY OF
CONCRETE STRUCTURES
25. DISADVANTAGES OF SCC
More precise measurement and monitoring of the
constituent materials.
Costlier than the conventional concrete based on
concrete material cost.
The cost of SCC is 10-15 % higher than the
conventional concret.
There is no specific INDIAN STANDARD CODAL
PROVISION for mix design.
26. USE IN INDIA
High rise tower 80 storey –Palais Royale,
Sri Ram Mills compound, Mumbai.
Nathani Heights 75 storey, Bombay central
Tarapur Automic Project, Maharashtra.
Metro Project, Delhi.
Nuclear power plant Kaiga, Karnataka.
29. CONCLUSION
SCC can be effectively placed in most congested areas
USEFUL where normal methods of vibration are not
possible.
When self-compacting concrete becomes so widely
used that it will be seen as the “standard concrete”
rather than as a “special concrete”.
