OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to attain the high strength using chemical admixtures. What is high strength concrete? There is no fixed definition for this but according to American concrete institute committee it is defined as concrete that has design strength in excess of 6000 psi (41 MPa).

ADVANTAGES OF HSC
The compressive strength is marginally high. Can be used in structures having high inplane compressive strength. High compressive strength /unit volume / unit weight will reduce the dead load. Generate dense microstructure thus increases the long term durability.

SUITABLE GUIDELINES FOR MATERIAL SELECTON

The higher the targeted compressive strength, the smaller the maximum size of coarse aggregate. Up to 70 MPa compressive strength can be produced with a good coarse aggregate of a maximum size ranging from 20 to 28 mm. To produce 100 MPa compressive strength aggregate with a maximum size of 10 to 20 mm should be used. Concretes with compressive strengths of over 125 MPa have been produced, with 10 to 14 mm maximum size coarse aggregate. Using supplementary cementitious materials, such as blast furnace slag, fly ash and natural pozzolans, not only reduces the production cost of concrete, but also increases the strength.

Materials of high quality and their optimum proportions. Failures in NSC is characterized by fractures in the cement paste and in transition zone b/w paste. Super plasticisers require high fines for cohensiveness of mix & rapid slump loss. An Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC 53) conforming to the specification of IS: 12269. Finness is 225m2 /kg. Any suitable water reducing admixture should be used.we adopted Master Glenium SKY 8777 ,which is free of chloride & low alkali. It is compatible with all types of cements. It is based on second generation polycarboxylic ether polymers.
