Abstract
This paper proposes a new mix design method for self-compacting concrete (SCC). The proposed method determines the packing factor “PF” (aggregate content), following which, silica fume powder is used to increase strength and to obtain better workability of fresh paste. The compressible packing model, the Chinese method and the FN EN 206-1 standard for mixture design of SCC are used under this method. Tests on slump flow, and compressive strength were carried out and the results indicate that medium strength can be produced successfully using this method.
