INTRODUCTION

Self compacting concrete which is able to fill up the framework and cover reinforcing bars under gravity without any compaction.

There are two types of fillers mainly used in SCC. 1. Pozzolanic e.g.(Fly Ash, Silica fume , Blast Furnace slag etc.) 2. Non- Pozzolanic
etc.). e.g.(Limestone Powder , Chalk Powder and Dolomite Fines

EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Materials Used: The following materials were used for preparing the mixes. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), 43 grade, conforming to IS: 8112-1989 Fly ash (FA), conforming to IS: 3812-1981 Locally available river sand as per IS: 383-1970 with a fineness modulus of 2.62. The coarse aggregates consisted of a combination of 10 mm and 16 mm maximum sizes in weight ratio of 1:3 respectively with the fineness modulus of the combined coarse aggregate being equal to 6.33.

TESTING OF CONCRETE MIXES

The flow related test of SCC mixes are as follows. T-500 test. V-funnel test. U- box test. J-ring test. V-funnel and GTM screen Segregation Test for stability of SCC mix.

Compressive strength development in the SCC mixes

CONCLUSION
The following conclusions can be drawn: 1. Making SCC by using limestone powder as a filler is possible. 2. The compressive strength of SCC mixes with limestone were average 46% higher at 7 days and 25% higher at 28 days than the control concrete hence can be adopted. 3. Hence use of the Fine lime stone powder is favorable in a percentage of 25%.
