Abstract

In the present research a series of experiments had been performed to make comparative study of various mechanical properties of concrete mixes prepared by Portland cement, Fly ash cement and their blend (in 1:0.5 and 1:1 proportion). Concrete mixes are modified by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of silica fume in replacement. The ingredients are mixed in 1: 1.5: 3 proportions. The properties studied are 3days, 14days and 28 days compressive strengths, workability and porosity.
