– Concrete is the most widely used constructionmaterial in overall world due to its various advantages in theinfrastructural industries. The production of cement causesatmospheric and environmental pollution by emitting carbondioxide into the atmosphere. Pozzolonic by products fromelectrical industries are supplimentory cementitiousmaterials such as GGBS, fly ash, slag, Rice Husk are utilizedin recent years as cement alternative material for growingHSC with progressed workability, energy and durabilitywith decreased permeability. High strength concrete (HSC)is made with adding mineral admixtures like silica fume, flyash in the concrete. Using cementitious materials such asunprocessed fly ash and silica fume in the High strengthconcrete mix gives benefits in various ways. Also thesematerials reduces emission of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere. So that, It gives an environment friendlyconcrete for the sustainable development. Preparing highstrength concrete by using these cementitious materials withsuper plasticizers gives required strength.
