on. In the setting stage, it guarantees low plastic shrinkage and little settlement.
In the hardened state, it has a low permeability and a high resistance to external agents and is more durable.
Flow ability Absence of segregation Ability to pass between reinforcement Compaction under its own weight Compatability of superplasticisers Cement content Water content Form work should be preferably of controlled permeability
APPLICATIONS OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE Bridges Box culvert Concrete filled steel Column Tunnel Dams Concrete Products(Blocks, Culverts and Slabs) Diaphragm Walls Pipe Roof Piles Tank.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIALS USED Cement 53 grade OPC Fine Aggregate It is desirable to use a coarser variety of sand having a high fineness modulus. Generally, fractions through 300 sieve or 150 sieve are to be kept low. Coarse Aggregate The coarse aggregate , an inert filler of the concrete, is the least porous component of concrete It is preferred to use crushed aggregate than rounded aggregate
MINERAL ADMIXTURES To increase the stability of the mixture To cut down the dosage of viscosity modifying agent fine powders are used. Ennore field IV Fly Ash was used as mineral admixtures
CHEMICAL ADMIXTURE Polycarboxylic ether based superplasticiser The dosage is optimized by Marsh cone test
WATER Potable water is used.

Optimisation of Superplasticisers The superplasticiser can be optimised for SCC by Marsh cone test. The test consists of determining the time needed for a certain volume of paste to flow through the Marsh Cone for varying SP/ C ratio.
Aggregate proportion The minimum void content of the aggregate skeleton is determined by filling a large container with dry mixes of varying sand/gravel ratios.

Conclusions
Self compacting concrete showed no signs of segregation and bleeding. It also had self consolidating property. The workability assessing tests such as slump flow, L - Box, V funnel, U tube and Filling ability could be relied on to assess the stability of the concrete mix. Properties of SCC such as exceptionally good rheological properties and low water binder ratio resulted in dense microstructure. This was evident from the results of the accelerated chloride diffusion test.
Conclusions
Microstructural related properties such as water absorption ,water permeability and chloride permeability confirmed the superior durability characterisation of SCC. The strength and durability properties of self compacting concrete was similar to conventionally vibrated High Performance concrete as seen from the published literature.
For developing SCC technology, new testing and quality control procedures are needed. Possible deviation from IS specifications
A rational mix design method needs to be developed. Specific stability evaluation methodology can be developed to guarantee the performance of SCC on site. Binary and tertiary blended cements can be used for developing self compacting concrete. Shrinkage and creep behaviour of SCC can be studied.
