The properties reported in this paper are the workability properties, Mechanical properties and Durability Properties. SCC containing different proportion of these mineral admixtures has been tested for slump flow, V-funnel, L-box, U-box and J-ring and found that the values are within the limits prescribed by EFNARC, 2002 method. This paper present the Mechanical and Durability properties of self compacting concrete using cementitious materials as a partial replacement of cement like Fly ash(15%), Silica fume(15%) and Metakaolin(5%) Artificial fine aggregate as natural fine aggregate having fineness modulus 2.7 Coarse aggregate of size 12mm and CONPLAST SP337 as Super-plasticizer. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative development of conventional concrete, which can be placed and compacted under its self weight with little or no vibration effort. The use of sustainable technologies such as supplementary materials is expected to positively affect the performance of concrete mixtures. On the other hand continuous use of natural aggregates causes environmental problems and it is also necessary to preserve the natural sources. Cement is the most active component and the use of large quantities of cement results in increasing CO2 emissions and as a consequence of the green house effect. Concrete is a composite material made up of cement, sand, water and sometimes admixtures. Concrete can be considered as the most widely used in the construction industry.
