ABSTRACT

Sudan is one of the developing countries that face many problems in the field of construction and infrastructures; one solution of these problems is towards employment of self-compacting concrete. The application of SCC in Sudan is very rare because of lack of research and published data pertaining to locally produced SCC. Therefore, there is a need to conduct studies, further researches, and investigations to get the knowledge of SCC and to be aware about its all aspects; starting from selection of suitable constituents including super plasticizer, mineral admixtures, mix proportion optimization, assessment of the fresh state and hardened state properties to produce it successfully.
