Abstract
Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete which can be placed under its own weight without any means of vibration. Furthermore, it can be handled without segregation and bleeding. This research compares the structural performance of congested reinforcement beams cast with Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) and identical beams cast with Vibrated Concrete (VC). In this research, beam specimens with same geometric cross-section, length, and stirrup configuration and different longitudinal reinforcement ratios were casted. A total of six beams (four cast with SCC and two cast with VC) are tested in the experimental investigation under monotonic mid-span concentrated loading. The test results showed that SCC performed better in congested reinforcement beam than the referenced VC. The study also indicated that the difference in mix composition of SCC from that of VC has no effects on the service load deflection response of reinforced concrete beam.
