Self Compacting Concrete is a concept introduced in late 1988 by Professor Ozawa with the sole intention of overcoming the problem of insufficient compaction by a workforce or non availability of the same. Thus to create uniformity in the quality as well as to ease the placement of the concrete the concept of SCC was introduced. SCC as its name suggests, is a concrete that can easily flow into reinforcements without the need of compaction due to its own weights. In recent year, SCC has gained wide use for placement in a congested reinforced concrete structure with difficult casting condition. For such applications the fresh concrete must possess high fluidity & good cohesion. However wide spread application of SCC has been restricted due to its high manufacturing cost; which is again due to the high cost of the superplasticizers, retarders & Viscosity Modifying Agents (VMA) used in manufacturing of SCC. The paper aims at developing SCC using glycerin as VMA and flyash as filler material, which would make it economical imparting comparatively more strength at the same time. The results of the experimental program are presented in the paper representing the strength of concrete at the end of 7days, 14 days & 28 days; which ranged from 28.7 Mpa to 38Mpa at the end of 28days. Various proportions of glycerin were tried and it was found that glycerin can replace both the superplasticizers and the retarders imparting comparatively more flowability and strength as compared to SCC with superplasticizers and retarders & has proved to be more economic at the same time. The test results for acceptance characteristics of SCC such as slump flow, V-funnel & L-box are also presented.
