Comparison of Traditional Concrete with Self-Compacting Concrete along with its Properties

The advantages of SCC over normal concrete or traditional concrete are well known. But the period wise study of comparison of compressive and flexural strength for normal concrete and SCC is needed especially for higher grade of concrete because it’s always been a challenge to maintain both strength as well as good workability. In this research work, after the extensive literature survey, we made the number of trials for normal concrete and self-compacting concrete for M50 grade. Then results are compared for both compressive and flexural strength. It was found that the rate of gain of compressive strength of SCC on 7 and 14 days were less but increases considerably up to 28 days. The reduction in the flexural strength was found for SCC. Also, the conclusions were drawn for the use of super plasticizer and fly ash in concrete.
