Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a high performance concrete which is having good segregation resistance, and also possess high strength. It is a special kind of concrete, which is having easy flow-able property, so that it can reach every corner of the mould easily when compared with conventional concrete. This concrete does not require any vibration or compaction while placing. The present investigation deals with the usage of both ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) as a partial replacement material to cement with varying percentages such as (0%, 30%, 50%, 70%) and Silica Fume. Silica Fume is taken 2% by weight of GGBS and replaced partially to it. Auromix 300 plus is used as admixture with a dosage of 0.6% by weight of cement. It gives good workability and also acts as viscosity modifying agent. Usage of these materials resulted in high strength, durability and corrosion resistant. In this research, beams (150mm × 150mm × 1000 mm) were casted. Flexural strength was determined for 4 beams at an age of 28days, under four point beam bending test and remaining 4 beams were allowed for chloride penetration test after completion of 30days age which are left under NaCl curing. It is been observed from the research, blended self-compacted concrete has high strength and also high corrosion resistant.
