Abstract

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of high-performance concrete which compacts on its own weight without any vibration. It is application of SCC have been restricted due to lack of standard mix design procedure and testing methods. Its gaining wide acceptability because no vibration is needed and noise pollution is eliminated [1]. The Construction process is safer and more productive. In the present study the mix design for M30 grade self-compacting concrete (SCC) was carried out in accordance with EFNARC 2002 guidelines. The SCC is made with 30% replacement of Cement with varying percentage of Fly ash (FA) and Metakaolin (MK) i.e., 0%, 7.5%, 15%, 22.5% and 30% and along with addition of Super plastizer 1.5% to the volume of cement content. The test results for acceptance characteristics of SCC such as slump flow test, V-funnel test, L-box test and J-ring test were satisfactory as per EFNARC for developed mix proportions of M30 grade SCC mix. Further, Compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength at the age of 7 and 28 days were also determined and 0% to 30% replacement of MK and FA can be regarded asa suitable replacements and optimized mix proportions have been recommended for M30 grade of MK and FA based SCC from this experimental study
