Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out for M-60 grade of concrete and evaluates the effect of Alccofine on compressive strength of concrete. High strength concrete is made by the partial replacement of sand with that of foundry slag and addition of Alccofine with cement. In this study, concrete of M60 grade is considered for a W/C ratio of 0.27 with the targeted slump of 170 mm for the replacement of 10%, 20%, 30% of aggregates (fine) with that of slag aggregate and adding of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% of Alccofine respectively. This concrete mixed is studied for compressive strength.
