ABSTRACT
High Strength concrete is widely used for construction of high rise structures,
bridges and so on. But using HSC cost us more. Alternately we can use some
admixtures which can increase strength indirectly. In this paper we have used GGBS,
Fly ash and SP-430 Super plasticizers. On conducting different trail mixes we have
come to know that by using 10% of fly ash, 30% of GGBS & 60% of Cement leads us
to 10.3% raise in compressive strength for 28 days and 30.8 % for 180 days.
Key words: compressive strength, Fly ash, GGBS, High strength concrete, super
plasticizers.

1. INTRODUCTION
The misfortune in the wellbeing of recently developed solid structures provoked the most
immediate and certain proof of the keep going two/three decades on the service life execution
of our construction and the subsequent test that stands up to us is the disturbing and
inadmissible rate at which our infrastructure everywhere throughout the world are
experiencing decay when presented to real environments.
The Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is one of the main ingredients used for the
production of concrete and has no alternative in the civil construction industry. Tragically, in
the creation of concrete includes emanation of a lot of carbon-dioxide gas into the air, a
noteworthy commitment for green house impact and the worldwide warming .Hence it is
