Abstracts: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. In plastic state it is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, without any segregation and maintaining its homogeneity even in the presence of congested reinforcement and can flow through all shapes and obstructions. The hardened concrete is dense, homogeneous and has almost the same engineering properties and durability as normal concrete.
