Paper Details

The development of self-compacting concrete started in Japan in the middle of 1980’s with an aim to reducedurability problem in complicated and densely reinforced concrete structure due to lack of skilled labors and poorcommunication between designer and the construction engineer. The concept of Self compacting concrete (SCC) waspurposed for the first time by the Prof. Hajimeokamura (1997), but the prototype was first developed in 1988 in Japan byProfessor Ozawa (1989) at university of Tokyo. The last few decades is considered to be the era of the self-compactingconcrete and thousands of research has been carried out. In India, the development of concrete possessing selfcompacting properties is still very much in its initial stages. Over the past couple of years, few attempts were made usingstill the cost of production of such concrete is a challenging issue for the present concrete engineers. Hence, in thepresent paper an attempt is done to understand the effect of various types of mineral and chemical admixture (Rice huskash, Meta kaolin) on the properties of SCC concrete with the cost by benefit analysis for the same. It is a basically anattempt to sum up the effect of various ingredients on the concrete by doing extensive literature review.
