Reinforced concrete is one of the most versatile and widely used construction materials. The concrete must be able to pass the dense rebar arrangement without blocking or segregating. Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a latest trend in concrete technology because of ability to compact under its own weight and also due to its high resistance of segregation and bleeding; by using such kind of concrete in construction work economy can be achieved due to elimination in vibration and compaction. The results show that for constant flow ability of the SCC, replacement of cement with Guar Gum (GG) requires an increase in water/powder ratio and an increase in super plasticizer dosage. Both additions degraded the flow ability, consistence retention and hardened properties but not to a prohibitive extent. By limiting the content of guar gum not greater than 6%of replacement of cement and by keeping Super Plasticizer (SP) content same as 1% gives better result than normal concrete in terms of strength, workability & durability. Grades of concrete i.e. M50 and are tested for 1 to 6 % of GG and constant 1 % of SP (Conflow-CP) and results are obtained for this thesis. Self compaction can be achieved by many ways including combination of viscosity modifying agent and super plasticizer Guar gum added in concrete by weight of cement. Result shows that by addition of both component gives better compressive strength then normal concrete.
