Abstract

Self-compacting concrete is the best choice for building a durable monument with intricate forms and design. The mixture was designed and tested for the applicability to be produced on site with rudimentary technology and unskilled manpower. The mechanical properties were in the range of C25/30- C30/37 – with a great workability, surface smoothness and accurate architectural details.
