Abstract
In this present experimental investigation an attempt is made to the strength and behavior of the meta kaolin, super
plasticiser and other chemicals on high performance concrete. Cement is replaced by 0%, 20% of Metakaolin by volume
of concrete, thus resulting in the increase in strength. Super-plasticizer is used to increase the workability of concrete,
increase the density and strength. It can permit the reduction in the water cement ratio up to 15%,.Dosage of superplasticizer is 1.5% by weight of cement.

Sequence of Operation
The investigation was carried on M30 and M40 grade concrete. Required quantities of materials are calculated Cement, sand, Course aggregate and fly ash is thoroughly
mixed in dry mixer manually so as to obtain uniform color.
Then the required percentage of Adhesive (METAKAOLIN)
is added to the water calculated for that particular mix,
this water is added to the dry mix with a view of obtain
uniform mix. The compaction factor test and slump cone
test were carried out and the respective values were recorded for all mixes. The molds with standard dimensions
i.e., 150mm*150mm were kept on table vibrator and the
concrete was pointed into the molds in 3 layers by poking
with tampering rod and vibrated by table vibrator. The
vibrator was used.
General Introduction
GENERAL
High performance of concrete (HPC) widely been used
in recent years, not only for its increased compressive
strength, improved durability and economic benefits, but
also for its positive impact on the environment.
Curing
The test specimen cubes, prisms and cylinders were
stored in place, free from vibration in most air at 90%
relative humidity and at a temperature of 270c+_ 20c for
24 hours. Hour from the time of addition of water to the
dry ingredients. After 24 hours the specimens were demolded and immediately immersed in clean, fresh water
tank for a period of 28 days.

TESTING PROGRAM
Slump Cone Test
Slump cone test is the most common test used to measure the workability both in laboratory and in field. It is
widely used because of ease in performing this test. It is
not suitable method for very wet or very dry concrete and
stiff mix.it does not measure all factors contributing to
workability. The slump was measured in/mm. as shown
in plate.
