This experimental work aims to investigate the effect of manufactured sand on mechanical behavior of self-compacting concrete. In the present study, natural river sand has been replaced by manufactured sand for fine aggregates, in the percentages of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100. A total of 54 cubical specimen measuring 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.15 meters, 45 cylindrical specimen measuring 0.15 x 0.15 x 0.3 meters and 20 prism specimen measuring 0.5 x 0.1 x 0.1 meters were cast respectively to study the compressive, tensile and flexural strength of the self – compacting concrete after a curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. It was observed that the addition of manufactured sand enhanced the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete.
