Concrete is a versatile widely used construction material. Ever since concrete has been accepted as a material for construction, researchers have been trying to improve its quality and enhance its performance. Recent changes in construction industry demand improved durability of structures. There is a methodological shift in the concrete design from a strength based concept to a performance based design. At present stage there is a large emphasis on performance aspect of concrete. One such thought has lead to the development of self compacting concrete (SCC). The present investigation is aimed at developing a self compacting conceret with the addition of steel fibres and using eco sand as replacement. SCC characteristics such as flow ability, pasing ability and segregation resistance have been verified using slump flow, L box and V funnel tests.
