INTRODUCTION
Concrete mixture, characterized by high resistance to segregation and which can be cast
without compaction or vibration are termed as Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC).SCC mixes
contains a very high content of fine fillers, including cement, which further leads to high
compressive strength concrete.The three essential properties of SCC are its ability to flow
under its own mass (filling ability), its ability to pass through congested reinforcement (passing
ability), and its ability to resist segregation (segregation resistance).The use of fly ash at higher
replacement levels have increased in recent years because of the environmental and economic
issues. Safe disposal of fly ash is a growing problem in India. With rising fly ash production
more efforts must be put on higher consumption of fly ash.If not handled properly management
of fly ash shall require huge land area for dumping and it will be an environmental threat for
coming generations.Malhotra (1985) coined the term high volume fly ash (HVFA) and
concluded at 50% replacement level of Portland cement with fly ash(HVFA) concrete has low
heat of hydration, excellent workability, adequate early and later-age strength, low drying
shrinkage, and excellent durability.

LITRATURE REVIEW
 According to Dinakar et. al.,2008 [7] fly ash replacement in SCC up to 70-85% is
possible with low strength grades (20-30MPa) for grades of higher strength (60-
90MPa) only 30-50% replacement is possible.
 According to Raghu et. al. (2009) [2] high volume fly ash in SCC and HPC causes
good increase in compressive strength at 56 days and 90 days and not so much at
28 days.
 According to Hossain et. al. (2010) [4] Rapid Chloride Permeability (RCP)
decreased with the increase in percentage of VA up to w/b of 0.4 but for w/b of
more than 0.4 the RCP was found to increase again with the increase in percentage
of VA.
 According toRafat Siddique(2011)[8] SCC mixes made with fly ash reduced the
rapid chloride ion penetrability to the very low range (less than 700 and 400
Coulomb) at the age of 90 and 365 days respectively.
 According to Turk et. al. (2013)[5] the sorptivity values of SCC specimens with FA
and SF were lower than those of VTC specimens regardless of type and quantity of
powder additions.
 According to Dinakar et. al. (2013)[6] chloride Penetration Test shows that 70%
Fly ash replaced concrete had highest Coulomb charge of 3520 C while lowest it
was 923 C for 30% replaced fly ash.
 According to Tomasz et. al. (2014) [10] concretes with an unprocessed HCFA show
similar, while concretes with processed by grinding HCFA significantly lower
water absorption and depth of water penetration than the reference concrete.
 According to Stefanus et. al. (2015)[9] a higher cement replacement by fly ash tends
to decrease both drying and autogenous shrinkage.
  According to Leung et. al. (2016)[3] the effect of combined use of fly ash and silica
fume on reducing the water absorption and sorptivity is much more significant than
using fly ash only.
 According to Ahmet et. al. (2017)[1] the increase in content of SF caused the
increase in compressive strength; the increase in FA content affected compressive
strength in the reverse direction.

RESEARCH GAP
 The durability of SCC under different curing condition is today a matter of concern.
 The performance of SCC under different curing temperature has not been studied till.
 There are very few research on self-compacting concrete with ternary cementitious
blends containing OPC, silica fume and high volume fly ash but there is no research on
optimization of ternary cementitious blends.

OBJECTIVE
 To develop SCC with High volume of Fly Ash and chemical admixture.
 To determine the flowability (filling & passing ability) and mechanical properties.
 To Develop the SCC with Ternary Cementitious Blends of OPC, Silica Fume and High
volume Fly ash.
I. With optimised Fly ash and silica fume variation.
II. With optimised silica fume and fly ash variation.
 To determine young’s modulus of elasticity.
 To determine the durability properties in terms of rapid chloride penetration test and its
effect under different curing temperature.
 To develop correlation between mechanical properties and durability properties

MATERIALS:
CEMENT: The Cement used was Jaypee Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) of grade 43
conforming to IS: 8112-1989 and specific gravity of cement is 3.15.
FINE AGGRIGATES: Ordinary sand from Sone river bed having the Specific gravity 2.66
& Water absorption 1.35 has been used.
COARSE AGGREGATE: Locally available crushed stone from Pakur with maximum graded
size of 16 mm, Water absorption 0.755 & specific gravity 2.74 has been used as coarse
aggregate.
CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES: Super plasticizer (SP) is used as a chemical admixture to
increase the workability, without using any additional water. The super plasticizer used in the
present work is HRWR with VMA.
FLY ASH: Fly ash samples taken from Kahalgaon Thermal Power Plant, NTPC were used in
this study. The sample satisfied the requirements of IS 3812(Part I). Specific gravity of fly ash
is 2.2.
SILICA FUME: It is a product obtained from reduction of high purity quartz with coal in
an electric furnace in the manufacture of silicon or ferrosilicon alloy.Specific gravity of
silica fume is 2.2 and used as a pozzolonic admixture.
