Abstract – The Self Compacting Concrete is construction material which is used widely. The property of the concrete is good compaction without any vibrating equipment and good workability of concrete. This study shows the change of the Harden Self Compacting Concrete after the change in Cementitious content with Fly Ash. The result of the Compressive Strength shows that the Strength of the concrete having OPC53 Grade of cement is high as compared to that of the cementitious material replaced by the Fly Ash. The study also shows that as the Fly Ash content increases the strength of the compressive strength concrete decreases. The workability of the concrete is also being analysed in this study with the help of U-Box, L-Box, V-Funnel and Flow Table Test. The observation shows that as the Fly Ash Content increase the workability of the Fresh Concrete increases.

Key Words:  Self-Compacting Concrete, Fly-Ash, Compressive Strength.
