To investigate experimentally, the workability and robustness of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) containing Viscosity Modifying Admixture (VMA), and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS). Since there is no standard method of mix design is available for SCC. Hence mix design was arrived as per the Guide lines of European Federation of National Associations Representing for Concrete (EFNARC). Marsh cone test was used to find the saturation point of different type of cements by adding the dosage of super plasticizer accordingly. In this investigation SCC was made by usual ingredients such as cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water and mineral admixture (GGBFS) at various replacement levels (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%), with that the Super Plasticizer (Glenium B233) and viscosity modifying agent (Glenium Stream 2) was used in appropriate amount for achieving the better flow in the concrete. The experiments were carried out by maintaining a constant water-powder ratio of 0.45. At various replacement levels the performance of freshly prepared SCC is checked by conducting tests such as slump flow, T50 slump flow, U-tube, L-box and V-funnel tests.
