Abstract

It is customary to use mechanical properties of concrete in application. Very few studies are having been done to determine the Mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The present study is aimed to obtain the mechanical properties of low and medium strength SCC and to compare with high performance concrete (HPC). The relationship between the spilt tensile strength, flexural strengths, modulus of elasticity and compressive strength of SCC can be expressed as ft = 0:48 fc′, fr = 0:79 fc′; E=4500 fc′, respectively, where the split tensile, flexural, compressive strengths and modulus of elasticity are in MPs. It is observed that the relationship between compressive strength and other mechanical properties are almost same in SCC and HPC.
