It is proven that fines are important constituent to produce self compacting concrete (SCC). Comparing to conventional concrete more fines are added in SCC. Cement, fly ash and any filler material finer than 125 micron are considered as powder or fines. Amount of fines affects the fresh and hardened properties of the self compacting concrete. Fine aggregate used in the production of concrete also has some fines in it. In this paper effect of sand fines on fresh and hardened properties are investigated and presented. SCC mix were prepared by varying sand fines content from 6.9% in sand to 0 % and all other mix constituent were kept constant. Fresh properties like slump flow, T500 time and hardened properties like compressive strength were found.
