Project overview It is challenging to produce high strength concrete and the one
of the major reason for this is presence of air voids. At present to reduce these voids many compacting machines like vibrators are used in field. But, this leads to high noise pollution and irritation the person working on site.
Thus, to eliminate this problem related to compaction, strength and noise So, A new concrete called Self-Compacting Concrete [SCC] is introduced.
The limitation with such concrete is that cement content is high so increase the cost. So, our project aims to produce a self-compacting concrete and compare both concrete for economical construction.
Introduction What is Self-compacting concrete?
SCC is defined as concrete that is able to flow and consolidate under its own weight, completely fill to formwork even in the presence of dense reinforcements & maintaining homogeneity without compaction.” It contains Water, Cement, Sand, Aggregate and some common chemical additives.
Problems with ordinary Concrete :-
Scarcity of skilled manpower Increased cost of manpower and materials Inconsistent construction quality Inadequate compaction in densely reinforced concrete Noise pollution due to vibration Increasing cost of Repair and maintenance

W/C ratio:- The water–cement ratio is the ratio of the volume of water to the
volume of cement used in a concrete mix. A lower water-cement ratio leads to higher strength and durability. To get flow ability we add much water in concrete so the strength of
concrete is reduced.

are very less compare to ordinary concrete.

Reduce construction period Strength
Application of SCC Delhi metro-rail construction :-
Self Compacting Concrete was the cross passage between the main tunnels of the rail network.
LNG TANK, OSAKA GAS COMPANY :-
Self-compacting concrete was used for the wall of a large LNG tank belonging to the osaka gas company, whose concrete casting was completed in june 1998.
The volume of the self-compacting concrete used in the tank amounted to 12,000 m3.
Concrete workers was reduced from 150 to 50. The construction period of the structure decreased from 22 months
to18 months.
AKASHI-KAIKYO BRIDGE ANCHOR :-
A typical application example of self-compacting concrete is the two anchorages of akashi-kaikyo (straits) bridge opened in april 1998, a suspension bridge with the longest span in the world (1,991 meters).
The volume of the cast concrete in the two anchors amounted to 290,000 m3.
200 meter it was transported through the pipes to the casting site. In the final analysis, the use of self-compacting concrete shortened
the anchorage construction period by 20%, from 2.5 to 2 years.
Arlanda Airport Control Tower, Stockholm, Sweden :-
The total height of the tower is 83 m. The structure of the pillar consists of two shafts having different dimensions which are emphasized by two - colour design.
SCC was used in order to achieve the concreting speed of a standard floor height h=3.27m in a 4 day climbing cycle of formwork and to ensue high-quality concrete placing without vibration.
The decreased noise level during concrete placing enabled concreting during the night shift.
Today it represents a symbol of Stockholm.
Conclusion At same grade of concrete we find self-compacting
concrete with certain change as decrease only 10 % of final cost.
Use of self-compacting concrete is very simple and no skilled labour is required.
By practical we concluded self-compacting concrete give us smooth outer surface as plaster so plaster cost is reduced.
By practical we achieved more strength & work-ability so SCC can be used in arid area.
We use fly ash (wastage material) and reduce 15% cement content in concrete.
We will have succeeded in creating durable and reliable concrete structures that require very little maintenance work.
Future Scope Find flexural strength of ordinary concrete & self-compacting
concrete. Test result for Self compacting concrete + rise ash husk. According our test result we can replace ordinary concrete to self-
compacting concrete.
