Abstract

Self-Compacting Concrete is a revolutionary concrete which gets compacted automatically due its self-weight. As a result of which many conjugate works related concretization becomes literally feasible and Easy. Due to the silent properties of SCC, it can be placed into any complicated frameworks without using external means of vibrations. Again SCC is a type of concrete in which there is a huge scope to experiments with it. In past decade it can be easily understood, from the various studies conducted on SCC by replacement with different Mineral Admixtures. In this work medium grade (M25) of concrete is used and Modified Nan-Su Method is adopted for mix proportioning. This paper aims to study the fresh and hardened properties of SCC using GSA with different fractions of replacement of Cement with GSA. The results obtained on the basis of experimental work are satisfactory.
