Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is defined as a category of High Performance Concrete that has excellent deformability in the fresh state and high resistance to segregation, and can be placed and compacted under its self weight without applying vibration. SCC was first developed in Japan in mid 1980.
It has found applications in reinforced concrete sections containing congested reinforcements. Poor quality of compaction of concrete, in congested locations, has often been a shortcoming of traditional concreting. In such condiyions, SCC, which flows under its self weight and does not require any external vibration for compacting, has revolutionized the concept concrete placement. This has helped in new creative forms of design of concrete structures also.
