Abstract— There is a growing demand for special concrete mixes, high performance concrete, high strength, low permeability concrete, for use in bridges, marine environment, nuclear power plants etc. To achieve this, a partial replacement of cement with silica fume, metakoline, rice husk etc is a common practice.

Chemical Admixtures. Concrete with high early strength can also be made using accelerating admixtures. Calcium chloride, standardized to (ASTM D 98), can be used as an accelerating admixture for high-early strength concrete. The accelerating additive increases the rate of hydration and early strength of concrete.

Partial replacement of portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, is an effective strategy for improving durability and reducing the CO 2 footprint of concrete. However, using high-volume fly ash (HVFA) binders in precast and prestressed concrete is currently limited; largely due to reduced early-age strength …
