We have designed high strength concrete of grade M80. We have used all the mineral admixtures, namely, fly ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume and metakaolin, contributed by various reputed industries in India. We have collected all the details of these mineral admixtures from those reputed industries, and a brief introduction of all mineral admixtures is presented in this project work. We have also used superplasticizer (chemical admixture), namely, conflo manufactured by 'fosrock chemicals' in Bangalore. We have used this superplasticizer in order to achieve good workability under lower water-cement ratio for high strength concrete such as M80. We have compared the compressive strengths of all these mineral admixtures at their individual replacements and combinations of various percentages. We have also found out the percentage replacements of these mineral admixtures in order to achieve maximum strength. We have presented the results in the form of graphs.Read More
