Nowadays, utilization of the industrial by-products as mineral additives such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) have become widespread for fabricating self-compacting concrete (SCC). In the present study, different mixtures were developed with a ratio of 50% GGBFS by mass of total cementitious materials for achieving the best self-compacting properties. Mechanical and workability properties of concrete specimens were determined i.e. compressive strength, slump-value and T50 tests. The tests have shown that high addition of slag increased compressive strengths of specimens at 28 days although negligible reduction was observed after 7 days of hardening. In addition to the mechanical advantage of slag containing specimens at the 28 days, slump value and T50 time of such concrete mix specimens, primary indicators of self-compacting concrete, yielded better workability properties. Also it was found that fine/coarse aggregate ratio and high cement share have also significant effects on the workability of mix and mechanical properties of SCC. It can be concluded that slag content in mixtures was advantageous for self-compacting properties compared to control specimens, as well as in increasing of compressive strength at the 28 days.
