— concrete is used as main material in construction. Cement is main ingredient in concrete, due to highdemand of cement additional pozzolana required to partial replacement of cement for economical production ofconcrete. Mechanical experiments of RHA blended Portland cement concretes revealed that in addition to the pozzolanicreactivity of RHA (chemical aspect), the particle grading (physical aspect) of cement and RHA mixtures also exertedsignificant influences on the blending efficiency. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is one of the most significant advancesin concrete technology in the last two and half decades. SCC was developed to ensure adequate compaction through selfconsolidation and facilitate placement of concrete in structures with congested reinforcement and in restricted areas.The present work aims with the study of rheological properties of optimum content of RHA in SCC and compressivestrength of different proportion of rice husk ash as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%.
