Portland cement has been a very satisfactory hydraulic binder for structural applications for a long time now. However there are many new issues stemming from its ever increasing use. Sustainable development today demands development of new concrete technologies, which use less natural resources and energy, and generate less CO2, without compromising on strength and durability properties. Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) such as Flyash, Blast Furnace Slag, Silica Fume and Metakaoline etc., either in singly or in combination, in development of alternate binder systems is thus of economic and ecological significance. In the recent years, use of High Performance Concrete (HPC) in the construction industry as got momentum. For designing HPC, both SCMs and Superplasticizers are essential for the improvement of Workability and Mechanical Properties. The paper presents experimental studies conducted on two grades of HPC mixes of M50 and M60 using mineral and chemical admixtures in various proportions. Overall, the paper highlights the usage of admixtures to achieve high strength concrete mixes and from the experimental investigation it is clear that mineral admixtures contribute effectively a lot not only for achieving durability, also high strength.Keywords

The February 2007 report issued by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has started in no uncertain terms that global warming is no longer an issue that has to be debated. According to the report, global warming is here, and drastic actions are needed for the long term sustainable of our environment. In these contexts that this paper discusses the role of supplementary cementing materials as partial replacement for cement in concrete in reducing green house gas emissions. In the new millennium, concrete incorporating self-curing agents will represent a new trend in the concrete construction. Curing of concrete plays a major role in developing the concrete microstructure and pore structure, and hence improves its durability and performance. Due to the high alkalinity of concrete it has always been susceptible to acid attack. Hence, in this investigation an attempt was made in order to know the behavior of Concrete specimens curing with acids such as HCL, Alkaline such as NaOH and sulphate solution MgSO4 and Na2SO4.
In the last decade the use of Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) has become an integral part of high strength and high performance concrete mix design. The addition of SCM to concrete reduces the heat of hydration and extends the service life in structures by improving both long term durability and strength. Some of the commonly used SCMs are Flyash, Silica fume and Metakaoline. This paper presents results of the durability characteristic properties of M30 grade of Concrete with and without SCMs and Superplasticizers.

The plain concrete possesses a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. The addition of small, closely spaced and uniformly dispersed fibres to concrete would act as crack arrester and would substantially improve its static and dynamic properties. This paper presents the variation in strength characteristics of fibre bricks by varying the percentage of fibres and class F flyash. the percentage of fibres is varied from 0.25% and 0.5% An effort for an alternate approach in the experimental manufacturing of brick was accomplished by using various supplementary cementing materials like class F Fly ash, Hydrated lime and fibres such as jute and banana are used as key ingredients in the present investigation. Recycling such wastes by utilizing them into building materials is a moderate solution for the environmental pollution issues. Much of an emphasis is laid on energy saving and economy. In this experimental work an attempt is made for such an alternate approach.Keywords
