Assessment of rigid pavement of self compacting concrete is very old. Special type of applications such as underwater or bridge concreting have always required concrete, which can be placed without any need for compaction. In such circumstances vibration is simply difficult. Earlier self compacting concretes depends on very high content of cement paste, once super plasticizers became easily available in market, they were added in the concrete mixers. The mixers required special and well controlled placing methods in order to avoid segregation of concrete, and high content of cement paste made them to shrinkage. The overall costs are very high and application remained so limited. As compared to normally vibrated concrete (NVC), assessment of self compacting concrete (SSC) possesses increase in qualities and improves productivity and work conditions due to elimination of compaction in concrete. Self compacting concrete (SSC) generally has higher powder content then than normal vibrated concrete (NVC) and thus it is important to replace some of its cement by additions to get an economical and durable concrete. Japan is using self compacting concrete in bridge and other construction projects which takes place in water, building and tunnel construction since early 1990. In the last seven years, a number of self compacting concrete bridges have been constructed in Europe. In the united states usage of SSC in highways bridges construction is very finite at this time. However, the USA precast concrete industry is starting to apply the technology to architectural concrete. SSC has high potential for larger structural applications in highway bridge construction. The use of concrete without vibrating the highway bridge construction is old. In these days efforts are made to balance the mechanical properties of self compacting concrete sample. The standard which is used based on the 7 days, 28 days and 56 days respectively for compressive, splitting tensile and flexure strength.
