Abstract: Concrete is one of the versatile construction materials which are used worldwide. Self-Compacting Concrete is a type of concrete which is capable of flowing into the form work uniformly, without segregation and bleeding, better finishes, easier placement, thinner concrete sections, no vibration, safer working environment without any application of vibration. Due to many advantages like faster construction, reduction in site for thinner concrete sections, improved durability, suitability for congested reinforcement; this concrete becomes popular in civil engineering construction. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete mixture that is able to consolidate under its own weight, without the need for vibration. The highly fluid nature of SCC makes it ideal for placing in difficult conditions and in sections with congested reinforcement. Mixture proportions for SCC differ from those of ordinary concrete, in that the former has more powder content and less coarse aggregate. Fresh state properties of SCC like flow property, filling property, passing ability and segregation resistances of the mixes were checked by conducting inverted slump flow test, T500mm flow, V-shaped funnel test, V-shaped funnel test at T5min test, L-Box test method, U-Box test method were carried out according to EFNARC guidelines. Self-consolidating Concrete or Self Compacting High-Performance Concrete. It is very fluid and can pass around abstructions and fill all the nooks and corners without the risk of either mortar or other ingredients of concrete separating out, at the same time there are no entrapped air or rock pockets. This type of concrete mixture does not require any compaction and is saves time, labour and energy.
