 OPC = 450 kg/m3
 GGBS = 150 kg/m3
 Alccofine = 50 kg/m3

 Admixture Content: 3.25kg/m3.

 Powder Content: 758.5 kg/m3.
 Fine aggregate content: 108.5 kg/m3.
 Coarse aggregate content: 786 kg/m3.
 Tests and Results

 the design mix concrete flows and fills under its own weight without any segregation
observed through visible eye. Concrete produced can be pumped and casted from top
with free displacement from delivery point.
 Concrete with low viscosity will have a very quick initial flow and then stop. Concrete
with a high viscosity may continue to creep forward over an external time.\

 Designed mix is preferred in vertical application if the flow distance is more than 5 m
with a confinement gap greater than 80 mm without segregation during the flow.

 the minimum ratio of the depth of the concrete in the horizontal section relative to the
depth of concrete vertical section is considered to be 0.8. If the SCC flows as freely as
water. It will be completely horizontal, and the ratio will be equal to 1.0.
 The chloride and sulphate content in concrete mix are within the limits as per IS 456
2000 and the concrete is durable.
