The Effect of Different Proportions of Aggregates in Self-Compacting Concrete

The purpose of conducting this study was to obtain Self Compacting Concrete with different proportions of aggregate. The project was an experimental basis and requires research to familiarize with Self Compacting Concrete. The project requirement was to consider aggregates as important aspect. Ma...
