Abstract :

This paper focuses on utilization of mineral admixture in the partial replacement of cement; attempt has been made to enhance the properties of concrete. The admixtures are used in general where the mineral admixtures fly ash and micro silica are quiet commonly used in achieving higher compressive strength. This mineral admixture reacts with cement which further increases the strength of concrete. These admixtures and superplasticizers play primary role in the manufacturing of high strength concrete. To enhance the properties of concrete, the admixtures are used in general where the mineral admixtures fly ash and micro silica are quiet commonly used in achieving higher compressive strength. These admixtures and superplasticizers play primary role in manufacturing the high strength concrete. This mineral admixture reacts with cement which further increases the strength of concrete. The optimum mix design using four different mixes proportions of concrete are prepared using cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, micro silica, fly ash and quarry dust on which the experimental study was carried out.
