Abstrakt: Concrete is the one of the most adaptable building material because it can be made to withstand the toughest environment. In the field of construction, the engineer challenges to develop new innovative admixtures to enhance the characteristics and performance of the concrete. Nowadays, supplemental cementitious materials (SCMs) are a part of the cementitious component in the majority of concrete mixtures. The SCMs are the waste materials or by-products from the different industries. These by-products possess the cementitious properties and it has the ability to replaced for cement material. By using these waste products as one of the building material it reduce the using of ordinary Portland cement and it will help to reduce the global warming effects along with disposal issues of waste materials. Most of the SCMs used as building materials are fly-ash, GGBS, rice-husk ash. silica fumes, baggage ash etc., The SCMs chosen are fly-ash, slag cement and silica fumes to carry out this investigation. The proportion of silica fumes utilized in the mix in the percentage of 8%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The mechanical strength property test were carried out for the concrete mix made with blended Slag cement and Fly ash cement (1:1) and silica fumes. The compressive strength test for different mixes were taken at the curing age of 7days,28days and 56 days. This research investigated the characteristics of concrete with slag, fly-ash and silica fumes which are compared with 0% replacement of silica fumes in the concrete. Incorporation of silica fumes in the concrete enhances the durability performance and strength features. The reduction of using cement content decrease the greenhouse gases contaminant in the environment and it become a greener eco-friendly building material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
