A Review on the Study of Principle Characteristics, Composition Mixture and Durability of Self-Compacting Concrete with Different Techniques

This article is the review study about the principle, properties, characteristics, method to form Self-compacting concrete, advantages and disadvantages of Self-compacting concrete. In this review article, SCC was made up of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water and fly ash, etc. at different replacement level i.e. 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. Concrete is a family of fine aggregate, water, binding material & coarse aggregate. But as always there is some limitation like self-compaction, surface finishes, etc. Hence to overcome this limitation, we try to make SCC with the help of mineral admixture. SCC is the concrete that can be placed & compacted under its own weight without any vibration effort. In 1980, Okamura first developed SCC in Japan. Significant research was carried out around the world for different applications of SCC with respect to identification of mix proportions and properties. This paper mainly tells about the mix proportions by various ecofriendly materials and to critically review the mechanical properties of SCC by partial replacement of cement and fine aggregate. The main observation was that the properties of SCC were improved to a considerable extent by the fine materials.
