Abstract - The main objective of a civil engineer is to construct that type of structure which is able to resist against the forces for many years. As every structure has its own life span depending upon the material used and its design critics. Self compaction of concrete is also called as self consolidating concrete is a innovative technique in the field of civil engineering. This technique was introduced to overcome the issue of workmanship. As we know ordinary concrete is dense and require external vibratos and other techniques (for compacting the concrete) to remove air bubbles and honey comb, especially at the surfaces. For this purpose skilled labour was required and it was also a time consuming process. However, in order to overcome this issue of Self-consolidating of concrete was introduced in which no compaction is required and therefore reducing the labour and time. This review paper explains the history and the current scenario and the application of this method in various fields and its composition.
