Abstract
Self‐compacting concrete (SCC) was developed in 1988 and introduced by Professor H. Okamura to achieve durability of structures with low skilled laborers. The three properties of SCC that differentiates it from traditional concrete are passing ability, filling ability and segregation resistance. The present study highlights the developments concerning SCC in the period from 1995 to 2017. This information is important for researchers and professionals working in this area. SCC can be optimized to a larger extent to find the best alternative either by use of additives or tailor‐made mix design. Based on different principles and parameters, design methods can be categorized into six classes namely empirical design method, statistical factorial design method, strength‐based design method, rheology of paste method, particle packing method and Eco‐SCC mixture design method. To develop SCC with high quality a suitable method can be chosen depending upon the situation and application.
