INTRODUCTION
By the early 1990's, Japan has developed and used SCC.

Self compacted concrete is highly engineered concrete with much higher fluidity without segregation and is capable of filling every corner of formwork under its self weight .
Thus SCC eliminates the vibration for the compaction of concrete without affecting its engineering properties. As of the year 2000, SCC used for prefabricated products (precast members) and ready-mixed concrete (cast-in-place) in the Japan, USA, etc.

Development of SCC
In 1983, the problem of the durability of the concrete structures was a major topic of interest in Japan. The creation of durable concrete structures requires adequate compaction by skilled workers. Solution for the achievement of durable concrete structures independent of the quality construction work is the use of SCC. The necessity of this type of concrete was proposed by Okamura in 1986. Studies to develop SCC have been carried out by Ozawa and Maekawa at the university of Tokyo. Present-day SCC can be classified as an advanced construction material.

The Important Properties


Self-compactability Avoidance of bleeding and segregation Low shrinkage Low permeability Strength as needed

Whats Different?
Segregation resistance from mortar viscosity & not due to aggregate grading. Workability content. through admixtures, not water

Self compacting due to own weight and not vibrators.

What is the secret?


Paste Viscosity! Attained by one of three means: High cement content High content of Fly Ash, Silica Fume etc Use of Viscosity Modifying Admixture Also low water content using HRWR

Basic requirements
For successful casting of SCC : A.Excellent deformability 1. Increase deformability of paste by a) use of HRWR b) balanced water 2. Reduce inter-particle friction by a) low coarse aggregate volume ( high paste volume)

Continued.
B. Good Stability 1. Reduce separation of solids by a) limiting aggregate content b) increasing cohesion and viscosity 2. Minimize bleeding (free water) by a) low water content b) superplastisizers

Continued.
C. Low risk of blockage by: 1. Enhanced cohesiveness 2.Sufficient spacing between reinforcement and coarse aggregate

Benefits of SCC
For Contractors:
Reduced vibration effort and noise during placing. Ability to fill complex forms with limited accessibility. More uniform distribution in areas of closely bunched reinforcement. Rapid pumping of concrete. Uniform and compact surface. Less surface voids and need for rubbing and patching. Improved aesthetics of flatwork for less effort.

Benefits of SCC
For Ready-Mix Producers:
Better perception from customers by offering a technically advanced, higher value concrete mixture. Offers a product that saves customers time and money. More efficient use of mixing equipment and delivery. Can easily expand variety of products offered without adding more equipment. Improved aesthetics of final product.

Benefits of SCC
For Cast-in Place Fabricators:
Allows easier quality control. Easier to achieve qualities of an optimally designed mix. Can better guarantee properties due to tight quality control. Faster slump loss means concrete is ready for steam-curing quicker.

limitations of SCC
Limited bleeding characteristics and plastic shrinkage may cause if not properly protected and cured. Higher admixtures content can also lead to plastic shrinkage if not properly cured. SCC requires a higher level of quality control than conventional slump concrete.

Key items to monitor are: Coarse and fine aggregate grading Coarse aggregate void volume Aggregate moistures

Technical advantages of SCC


Simple even in complicated formwork and tight reinforcement. Higher installation performance since no compaction work is necessary. Reduced construction times, especially at large construction sites Reduced noise pollution since vibrators are not necessary. Higher and more homogenous concrete quality across the entire concrete cross-section, especially around the reinforcement Improved concrete surfaces (visible concrete quality) Typically higher early strength of the concrete so that formwork removal can be performed more quickly.

Cost criteria
The increased cost of the concrete of SCC balances against labor savings and aesthetic benefits. Contractors, producers and owners are under great pressure to produce better quality construction at lower costs of labor, materials and equipment. Reduced in-place cost: SCC can increase the speed of construction, improve surface finish and thus reduce repair, patching costs & reduce maintenance costs on equipment. Reduced labor costs: Reduces labor demands of skilled labour for quality concrete works. Improved work environment and safety: minimizing noise exposures & also It reduces fall hazards, as workers do not have to stand on forms to consolidate concrete. Improved aesthetics Provides finished surfaces thus reduces the finishing costs .

HIGH RANGE WATER RETARDERS (HRWR) SUPERPLASTICIZER


Super plasticizer (VARAPLAST PC 100) is used as high range water retarder. Super plasticizing action of varaplast pc100 is different than conventional super plasticizers based on
sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate, sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate

which create electrostatic repulsion of particles. Varaplast pc 100 is free from chlorides and complies with ASTM C494 G (retarding super plasticizer).

HRWR CONTD
TYPICAL PROPERTIES Calcium chloride content: Nil Specific gravity: 1.08 at 20 C Air entrainment: Less than 1% additional air is entrained Setting time: 1-4 hours retardation depending on dosage and climatic conditions Chloride content: Nil

CASE STUDIES

CASE-STUDIES :Current condition on application of self compacting concrete in Japan: After the development of the prototype of self-compacting concrete at the University of Tokyo, intensive research was begun in many places, especially in the research institutes of large construction companies. As a result, self-compacting concrete has been used in many practical structures. The first application of self-compacting concrete was in a building in June 1990. Self-compacting concrete was then used in the towers of a prestressed concrete cable-stayed Shin-Kiba Ohashi bridge in 1991. Lightweight selfcompacting concrete was used in the main girder of a cable-stayed bridge in 1992.

Case study continued.


The use of self-compacting concrete in actual structures has gradually increased. Self-compacting concrete has been successfully used in France, Denmark, Netherlands,Germany,USA and UK, apart from Japan. 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 ahchorages amounted to 290,000 m3.

Case study continued.


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. The adoption of self-compacting concrete means that , (1) the number of lots decreases from 14 to 10, as the height of one lot of concrete casting was increased. (2) the number of concrete workers was reduced from 150 to 50. (3) the construction period of the structure decreased from 22 months to18 months.

4.SCC for Rafts & Retaining Walls for Kesar Solitaire,Navi Mumbai
The Kesar Solitaire is a prestigious project being developed by M/s. Kesar Group, when completed would be a landmark on the Palm Beach Road in Navi Mumbai. This commercial complex is situated just next to the creek and the water table is about 1 meter below the ground. On examining the water, it was found to be highly saline and the chloride content in water was more than 7000 ppm. Another issue at the site was the upcoming monsoons, the basement needed to be completed before the start of the monsoons, which otherwise would have flooded the site. It was therefore decided to go for an M 40 grade SCC for the triple basement structure, which was 10 meters below the ground level.

continued.
The SCC mix was designed with Corniche SF brand Silica Fume to take care of the chloride ion permeability of the structure due to the saline water table. An RCPT value of less than 1000 coulombs according to ASTM C 1202 and water permeability of max 50 mm according to DIN 1048 was specified, so as to ensure the durability of the raft concrete. The mix actually contained higher binder content and therefore the water demand was high. To ensure thorough dispersion of silica fume and fly ash, a PCE based admixture was used.

continued.
The thickness of the wall was 300 mm and after erecting the form work it was a challenge by itself to place and vibrate the concrete. It was therefore decided to use M 40 grade SCC so that even 3 meter pour (free fall) of concrete is possible. The use of SCC in retaining walls actually helped in achieving a homogeneous concrete void of any honey combs. The strengths achieved were more than 50 MPa at 28 days as the water binder ratio was maintained at 0.33

INDIAN SCENARIO OF SCC


Current Indian scenario in construction shows increased construction of large and complex structures, which often leads to difficult concreting conditions. In India, during last few years, attempts were made in the laboratories and in the field to develop and use SCC. Some efforts have been made in Delhi Metro Projects in association with L&T a large scale SCC for dome construction and tunnel lining, column casting, etc, are used to attain 35 MPa strength. The knowledge of SCC has moved from domain of research to application. But in India, this knowledge is to be widespread.

CONCLUSION
A new technology for eliminating vibrators in heavy structure where vibration is impossible. We conducted different fresh concrete test and also conducted hardened concrete test. Adding viscosity modifying admixture (polyethylene glycol) and fly ash combination is very much suitable for self compaction is high strength concrete. Advantage with respect to sound pollution. Ideal for concrete parts with complicated shapes and elements with high quality visible concrete.
