Abstract: Self compacting concrete is a high Performance concrete plays a major role in composite materials industry .This study investigates In detail about the effect of fly ash on the fresh properties of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC). SCC is widely recognizedconcrete usedfor its high flowability and ability to self-compact or flow without external vibration, making it highly suitable for structures with dense and complex reinforcement. The study was conducted using six different SCC mixtures with varying fly ash dosages (from 5g, to 30g). author try to give bestresults by conducted Standardized workability tests, including the J-Ring, V-Funnel, Inverted Slump Flow, L-Box, and Sieve Stability tests Etc.Test were performed by authors to evaluate the fresh properties of Self Compacting Concrete. Writers finds that The results indicate that moderate fly ash additions mainly (10g–15g) significantly improved flowability, stability, and segregation resistance and other properties , whereas higher dosages above (>20g) increased viscosity, leading to reduced flow but enhanced cohesiveness. Alsowe finds that SCC without fly ash displayed lower workability and higher segregation. We usesComparative graphs and tabulated data for the learners for easy understanding demonstrating that fly ash enhances SCC performance by making it a practical supplementary material for enhancing mix designs in construction Practices.
