Abstract
High performance concrete (HPC) can be made with cement alone or any combination of cement and mineral components, such as, blast furnace slag, fly ash, silica fume, kaolin, rice husk ash, and fillers, such as limestone powder [. In this study, three mixes of high performance concrete (HPC) with same water-binder ratio and different types of mineral admixtures were prepared. he compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity values were measured in accordance with the ASTM. The influence of fly ash (FA), blast furnace slag (BS) and silica fume (SF) on mechanical properties of HPC were compared and analyzed. Their mechanical properties are measured at 7 days and 28 days. The results showed that specimen BS45+SF5 performed better than specimens BS30+FA25+SF5 and BS65+SF5 for the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity.
