-Abstract
Development of Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is considered as the most sought development in
construction industry due to its numerous inherited benefits. Self-compacting concrete is a type of concrete
that gets compacted under its self-weight. It is commonly abbreviated as SCC and defined as the concrete
which can be placed and compacted in to every corner of a formwork, purely by means of its self-weight and
eliminating the need of either external energy input from vibrators or any type of compacting efforts (Ouchi
and Hibino, 1998; Subramanian and Chatopadyay, 2002). It is also referred as self-leveling concrete, super
workable concrete, highly-flowable concrete, non-vibrating concrete etc.
