Experimental Study on Workability of Self-Compaction Concrete

A self-compaction concrete (SCC) is a special concrete developed to easily flow and pass through reinforcement and fill the formwork without any external force. And saves time, energy and cost of construction.In this study we have conducted test on workability of SCC and various components of concrete matrix such as cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water and chemical admixtures and found appropriate results of our project. SCC is more efficient in flow ability and fills the formwork without any external forces and provides flexibility to design and cast a structure with different shapes.This project study contributes to the comparing and understanding of properties of nominal a self-compaction concrete with various mix proportions.We have conducted various workability tests like Flow table test, slump cone test, J-ring test, L-Box test, U-Box test, V-funnel test in our laboratory to determine the difference between the nominal and c self-compaction concrete.We have also conducted SEM analysis on cement and Nano silica particles used in the project.
