Experimental Exploration of High Strength Concrete (HSC) Properties Using Mineral Admixtures and Superplasticizers

High Strength Concrete (HSC) has garnered increasing interest due to its applications in modern construction, where enhanced strength, durability, and long-term performance are required. This study investigates the impact of mineral admixtures (such as fly ash, silica fume, and ground granulated blast-furnace slag) combined with superplasticizers on the properties of HSC. By systematically incorporating these admixtures at varying dosages and evaluating the mechanical and rheological properties of the resulting concrete, this study aims to optimize HSC formulation to enhance compressive strength, workability, and durability. Experimental results reveal significant improvements in concrete performance, suggesting that mineral admixtures and superplasticizers can synergistically improve HSC properties. These findings can inform mix design strategies for applications requiring high-performance concrete
