Self-compacted concrete (SCC) considered as a revolution progress in concrete technology due
to its ability for flowing through forms, fusion with reinforcement, compact itself by its weight
without using vibrators and economic advantages. This research aims to assess the fresh
properties of SCC and study their effect on its compressive strength using different grading zones
and different fineness modulus (F.M) of fine aggregate. The fineness modulus used in this study
was (2.73, 2.82,2.9& 3.12) for different zones of grading (zone I, zone II& marginal
zone(between zone I&II)) according to Iraqi standards (I.Q.S No.45/1984).Twelve mixes were
prepared, each mix were tested in fresh state with slump, V-Funnel and L-Box tests, then 72
