Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is considered as a concrete which can be placed and compacted under its self weight with little or no vibration effort, and which is at the same time cohesive enough to be handled without segregation or bleeding of fresh concrete. This study presents an experimental investigation on Self Compacting and Self Curing Concrete (SCCM) with fine aggregate replacement of a Quarry Dust (0, 10, 20, 30, 40%) with 10% and 15% LWA constant and addition of mineral admixture Fly Ash. Mix proportions of SCCM for M40 grade concrete were arrived. For each concrete mix nine 150×150×150 mm cubes, 150×300 mm cylinders were cast and left for Self Curing for 7, 28 and 56 days and results are compared with Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). The Slump Flow, J-Ring, UBox, L-Box and V-Funnel test are carried out on the fresh properties of SCCM and in harden concrete Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength were determined. The flow properties on SCC with cement, Fly Ash as additional for cementitious material and various proportions of Quarry Dust has been performed and found that the values of Slump flow, V-Funnel, UBox, L-Box and J-Ring were within the limits prescribed by EFNARC. From overall study, it was concluded that SCC with Quarry Dust found satisfactory.
