Comparative Study between Conventional and High Strength Concrete

Abstract

The current trend of use of superlatives in concrete technology may strike as somewhat disconcerting to many. We had high strength concrete, hyper-plasticizer, and super plasticizers, very reactive Pozzolana, and now high performance concrete. It is difficult to imagine any concrete being manufactured and used, which is not intended to perform to the extent; high performance concrete is not a new material of construction. The sole distinction is the level of performance that is over standard. Acceptance tests are performed with cube testing at 28 days. Wherever sturdiness of concrete is that the actuation for adoption of high performance concrete, unchanged permeable ness tests area unit performed as a matter of routine. In this paper, comparison study is shown between M-40 and M-60 grade of concrete victimization fly ash, oxide fume and sikament admixture. The compressive strength, flow table and slump table tests area unit performed on the concrete and check the compressive strength once seven and twenty eight days.
