This paper presents the experimental result on various factors and prediction equation for slump flow velocity(Fv) of selfcompacting concrete using viscosity-agent. In this experiment, water-binder ratio, volume percentage of fine aggregate in mortar and absolute volume of coarse aggregate are changed in mix proportion of concrete, and the slump flow velocity of fresh concrete are measured. We found that the yield value(τ_m), the plastic viscosity(η_m) in wet screening mortar and the absolute volume of coarse aggregate (V_G) affect the slump flow velocity. The prediction equation is proposed the formula Fv (τ_m, η_m, V_G).
